A company is considering investing in one of three projects - Project A, Project B, or Project C. Each project has a different expected return and a different level of risk. The following table shows the expected return and the standard deviation of each project:
Project | Expected Return | Standard Deviation |
---|---|---|
A | 12% | 10% |
B | 15% | 15% |
C | 18% | 20% |
The company can only invest in one project. The risk-free rate is 5%.
a) Calculate the coefficient of variation (CV) for each project.
