Question

The Butler-Perkins Company (BPC) must decide between two mutually exclusive projects. Each project has an initial outflow of $6,750 and has an expected life of 3 years. Annual project cash flows begin 1 year after the initial investment and are subject to the following probability distributions: Project A Project B Probability Cash Flows Probability Cash Flows 0.2 $6,000 0.2 $          0   0.6   6,750 0.6 6,750   0.2   7,500 0.2 19,000   BPC has decided to evaluate the riskier project at 13% and the less-risky project at 9%. What is each project's expected annual cash flow? Round your answers to the nearest cent. Project A: $   Project B: $   Project B's standard deviation (σB) is $6,158 and its coefficient of variation (CVB) is 0.78. What are the values of (σA) and (CVA)? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer for standard deviation to the nearest cent and for coefficient of variation to two decimal places. σA: $   CVA: Based on their risk-adjusted NPVs, which project should BPC choose? -Select-Project AProject BItem 5 If you knew that Project B's cash flows were negatively correlated with the firm's other cash flow, whereas Project A's flows were positively correlated, how might this affect the decision? -Select-This would make Project B more appealing.This would make Project B less appealing.Item 6 If Project B's cash flows were negatively correlated with gross domestic product (GDP), while A's flows were positively correlated, would that influence your risk assessment? -Select-This would make Project B more appealing.This would make Project B less appealing.Item 7
