Other members have suggested that Project B appears to be more conservative and should be selected. They have asked you to resolve this question. а. Calculate the expected NPV for both projects. Can the question be resolved with this information alone? b. Calculate the variance and standard deviation of the NPVS for both projects. Which project appears to be riskier?

Talal can pick one of two investment portfolios - A and B. Each requires an initial outlay of $100,000 and each has a most likely annualrate of return of 18%. Estimated the returns associated with each investment. Past estimates indicate that the probabilities of thepessimistic, most likely, and optimistic outcomes are 30%, 50%, and 20%, respectively. Note that the sum of these probabilities mustequal 100%; that is, they must be based on all the alternatives considered.Question:1.
