Projects Returns: Expected Value Standard Deviation A $ 262,000 $ 212,000 B 709,000 436,000 C 110,000 108,000 D 223,000 259,000 a-1. Compute the coefficients of variation

Respuesta :

Answer:

A. 0.809 B. 0.615 C. 0.982 D. 1.161

Explanation:

The coefficient of variation can be estimated by taking the ratio of the standard deviation and expected value.  If the coefficient of variation is high, there is a high dispersion of the value from the expected value and vice versa.

A. $212000/$262000 = 0.809

B. $436000/$709000 = 0.615

C. $108000/$110000 = 0.982

D. $259000/$223000 = 1.161
