Refer to the data of the past six years shown in Table 14.8. Conduct a revenue risk assessment. What is the revenue risk of each revenue source? What are the risky sources in your judgment? What is the risk of the revenue portfolio? Compared with the revenue risk assessment in the previous question, what are the changes in risk levels for these revenues? In other words, what sources become more volatile and what sources become less volatile? Are your revenue collection strategies different from those developed in the previous question?
(Note: the common wisdom is that you always want more data in an analysis to increase the reliability of the analysis.)
