The Butler-Perkins Company (BPC) must decide between two mutually exclusive projects. Each project has an initial after-tax cash outflow of $6,500 and has an expected life of 3 years. Annual project after-tax 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 | $6,000 | 0.2 | $ 0 | |
| 0.6 | 6,500 | 0.6 | 6,500 | |
| 0.2 | 7,000 | 0.2 | 18,000 | |
BPC has decided to evaluate the riskier project at 12% and the less-risky project at 8%.
- What is each project’s expected annual after-tax cash flow? Round your answers to the nearest cent.
Project A: $ Project B: $ Project B’s standard deviation (sB) is $5,822 and its coefficient of variation (CVB) is 0.78. What are the values of sA and CVA? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer for standard deviation to the nearest cent and for coefficient of variation to two decimal places.
