Five investment alternatives have the following returns and standard deviations of returns.

Alternatives	Returns: Expected Value			Standard Deviation
A	$	1,460		$	780
B		1,370			1,490
C		10,300			9,100
D		1,180			1,060
E		67,600			21,500

Calculate the coefficient of variation and rank the five alternatives from lowest risk to the highest risk by using the coefficient of variation. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
