The Bartram-Pulley Company (BPC) must decide between two mutually exclusive investment projects. Each project costs $6,000 and has an expected life of 3 years. Annual net cash flows from each project begin 1 year after the initial investment is made and have the following probability distributions:

Project A		Project B
Probability	Cash Flows	Probability	Cash Flows
0.2	$6,000	0.2	$ 0
0.6	6,750	0.6	6,750
0.2	7,000	0.2	17,000

BPC has decided to evaluate the riskier project at a 12% rate and the less risky project at a 9% rate.

1. What is the expected value of the annual cash flows from each project? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar.

   	Project A	Project B
   Net cash flow	$	$

   What is the coefficient of variation (CV)? (Hint: _B=$5,443.80 and CV_B=$0.73.) Do not round intermediate calculations. Round values to the nearest cent and CV values to two decimal places.

   		CV
   Project A	$
   Project B	$

2. What is the risk-adjusted NPV of each project? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest cent.

   Project A:		$
   Project B:		$

3. If it were known that Project B is negatively correlated with other cash flows of the firm whereas Project A is positively correlated, how would this affect the decision?

   This would tend to reinforce the decision to -Select-acceptrejectItem 9 Project B.

   If Project B's cash flows were negatively correlated with gross domestic product (GDP), would that influence your assessment of its risk?
