PROJECT RISK ANALYSIS
The Butler-Perkins Company (BPC) must decide between two mutually exclusive projects. Each costs $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 | $6,250 | 0.2 | $0 | |
0.6 | 6,750 | 0.6 | 6,750 | |
0.2 | 7,250 | 0.2 | 19,000 |
BPC has decided to evaluate the riskier project at 11% and the less-risky project at 10%.
What is each project's expected annual cash flow? Round your answers to two decimal places.
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)? Round your answer to two decimal places.
σA = $
CVA =
