The management of NUBD Co. is considering three investment projects-W, X, and Y. Project W would require an investment of P21,000, Project X of P66,000, and Project Y of P95,000. The present value of the cash inflows would be P22,470 for Project W, P73,920 for Project X, and P98,800 for Project Y. Rank the projects according to the profitability index, from most profitable to least profitable. *

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 $6,250 0.2 $0 0.6 $7,000 0.6 $7,000 0.2 $7,750 0.2 $19,000 BPC has decided to evaluate the riskier project at 12% and the less-risky project at 10%. a. What is each project's expected annual cash flow? Round your answers to two decimal places. Project A: $ Project B: $ Project B's standard deviation (σB) is $6,131.88 and its coefficient of variation (CVB) is 0.77. What are the values of (σA) and (CVA)? Round your answers to two decimal places. σA = $ CVA = b. Based on the risk-adjusted NPVs, which project should BPC choose? c.
