Cash flow:

The amount of cash and its equivalents transferred in and out of a business is termed as cash flow.

b.

Summary Introduction

To calculate: The CoV of each apartment complex.

Introduction:

Coefficient of variation ( CoV ):

It is the ratio of SD (standard deviation) to the mean that shows the extent of variability of data in relation to the mean of the population.

c.
