The Bartram-Pulley Company (BPC) must decide between two mutually exclusive investment projects. Each project costs $6,250 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	$7,000	0.2	$ 0
0.6	6,750	0.6	6,750
0.2	8,000	0.2	20,000

BPC has decided to evaluate the riskier project at a 13% rate and the less risky project at a 10% rate.

a)

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.

investment A =

investment B =

b)

What is the coefficient of variation (CV)? (Hint: _B=$6,522 and CV_B=$0.81.) Do not round intermediate calculations. Round values to the nearest cent and CV values to two decimal places.

		CV
Project A	$
Project B	$

c)

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		$

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-accept-reject-Item 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?
