Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Since the two projects have different NPVs and different standard deviations, relative risk can be measured by the coefficient of variation. Project A has a CV of.375, project B .333. Thus, the relative risk of project B is less.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
