$9.$ Problem $11-15($Risky Cash Flows$)$ Risky Cash Flows The Bartram$-$Pulley Company $($BPC$)$ must decide between two mutually exclusive investment projects. Each project costs $ $5,000$ and has an expected life of $3$ years. Annual net cas distributions: BPC has decided to evaluate the riskier project at a $12\%$ 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: What is the coefficient of variation $($CV$)?($Hint: $\backslash$sigma $\_$B$=$$ $6,157\mathrm{.}52$ and CV$\_$B$=$$ $0\mathrm{.}78.)$ Do not round intermediate calculations. Round $\backslash$sigma values to the nearest cent and CV values b$.$ What is the risk$-$adjusted NPV of each project? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest cent. c$.$ 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 Project B$.$ If Project B$\text{'}$s cash flows were negatively correlated with gross domestic product $($GDP$),$ would that influence your assessment of its risk?
