Hi Everyone! I would really like help with this problem. Thank you in advance!

b) Based on the risk-adjusted NPVs, which project should BPC choose?

Project A

Project B

c) If you knew that Project B's cash flows were negatively correlated with the firm's other cash flow, but Project A's cash flows were positively correlated, how might this affect the decision?

This would make Project B more appealing.

This would make Project B less appealing.

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

The Butler-Perkins Company (BPC) must decide between two mutually exclusive projects. Each costs $7,000 and has an expected life of 3 years. Annual project cash flows begin 1 year after the initial investment and are subject to the following probability distributions: Project A Project B Probability Cash Flows Probability Cash Flows 0.2 $6,500 0.2 $0 $7,000 0.6 $7,000 0.2 $7,500 0.2 $19,000 BPC has decided to evaluate the riskier project at 12% and the less-risky project at 9%. The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file below. Open the spreadsheet and perform the required analysis to answer the questions below. 0.6 Open spreadsheet a. What is each project's expected annual cash Now? Round your answers to two decimal places. Project A: $ Project B: $ Project B's standard deviation () is $6,131.28 and its coefficient or variation (CV) is 0.77. What are the values of (0) and (CV.)? Round your answers to two decimal places.
