a.
To calculate: The expected cash flow of each apartment complex.
Introduction:
Expected value:
Also known as mean, it is the value estimated or anticipated to be earned in the future from an investment. It is computed by adding up the values obtained after multiplying each outcome with its probability.
Cash flow:
The amount of cash and its equivalents transferred in and out of a business is termed as cash flow.
b.
To calculate: The CoV of each apartment complex.
Introduction:
Coefficient of variation ( CoV ):
It is the ratio of SD (standard deviation) to the mean that shows the extent of variability of data in relation to the mean of the population.
c.
To explain: The riskier apartment complex.
Introduction:
Coefficient of variation ( CoV ):
