0.2 $6,250   0.2 $0  
0.6 $7,000   0.6 $7,000  
0.2 $7,750   0.2 $18,000  

 

BPC has decided to evaluate the riskier project at 11% and the less-risky project at 10%.

  1. 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 $5,776 and its coefficient of variation (CVB) is 0.74. 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.
