Mr. John Backster, a retired executive, desires to invest a portion of his assets in rental property. He has narrowed his choices to two apartment complexes, Windy Acres and Hillcrest Apartments. The anticipated annual cash inflows from each are as follows:

Windy Acres

Yearly Aftertax Cash InflowProbability

10,000 = .1

15,000 = .2

30,000 = .4

45,000 = .2

50,000 = .1

Hillcrest Apartments

Yearly Aftertax Cash InflowProbability

15,000 = .2

25,000 = .3

35,000 = .4

45,000 = .1

Mr. Backster is likely to hold the apartment complex of his choice for about 10 years and will use this period for decision-making purposes. Either apartment can be purchased for $100,000. Mr. Backster uses a risk-adjusted discount rate approach when evaluating investments. His scale is related to the coefficient of variation (for other types of investments, he also considers other measures).
