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 $6,000 0.2 $0
0.6 $6,750 0.6 $6,750
0.2 $7,500 0.2 $17,000
BPC has decided to evaluate the riskier project at 11% and the less-risky project at 8%.
What is each project's expected annual cash flow?
A. Project A. B. Project B. Project B's standard deviation (?B) is $5,444 and its coefficient of variation (CVB) is 0.73. What are the values of (?A) and (CVA)?
