Risk is measured through Standard Deviation in Finance.
Hence, if the requirement is to rank only by the respective risk levels, Stock having the highest Standard Deviation will be ranked number 1 and the one with lowest Standard Deviation will rank bottom.
Hence,
Rank I : Fruit Fly
Rank II: Night Ryder
Rank III: WholeMart
However, if the objective is to measure risk as a % of return, then we need to use Sharpe ratio.
Sharpe Ratio is calculated in the following way:-
Sharpe Ratio = (Expected Return of the Stock - Risk free Rate of Return) / Standard Deviation of the Stock
Since, the problem doesn't give any information pertaining to risk-free rate of return, let us assume it to be 3%
Sharpe Ratio of Night Ryder :-
(10 - 3) / 38 = 0.184
Sharpe Ratio of WholeMart :-
(11 - 3) / 31 = 0.258
Sharpe Ratio of Fruit Fly :-
(16 - 3) / 45 = 0.289
Hence, the Stock having a higher Sharpe Ratio is the preferred Investment Choice.
