Homework Answers
a) On the basis of range:
Project C is less risky with range value of 4.2% since it is the least measure of deviation.
b) On the basis of standard deviation:
Project B is less risky with low sd of 2.6% since standard deviation indicates less market risk
Standard Deviation may not be an entirely appropriate measure of risk for the purpose of comparison because of the following: Option C
c) On the basis of CV:
Project C should be chosen, since CV is lesser

Standard deviation versus coefficient of variation as measures of risk Greengage, Inc., a successful nursery, is considering several expansion projects. All the alternatives promise to produce an acceptable return. Data on four possible projects appear in the following table: a. Which project is least risky, judging on the basis of range? b. Which project has the lowest standard deviation? Explain why standard deviation may not be an entirely appropriate measure of risk for purposes...

8.2
The coefficient of variation is a better measure of stand-alone risk than standard deviation because it is a standardized measure of risk per unit; it is calculated as the -Select- divided by the expected return. The coefficient of variation shows the risk per unit of return, so it provides a more meaningful risk measure when the expected returns on two alternatives are not -Select- .. The Sharpe ratio compares the asset's realized excess return to its -Select- over a...
