Answer:

a-1)

- Project A = 0.70

- Project B = 0.64

- Project C = 0.81

- Project D = 1.29

a-2) Mountain Ski Corp. should choose projects D and C

b) Lakeway Train Co. should choose project B

Explanation:

It’s needed to calculate the coefficient of variation for each project

Formula:  CV=σ/μ

Where:  

σ = standard deviation

μ = mean

The coefficient of variation (CV) is a ratio that compares the standard deviation with the mean of a project`s return, indicating the volatility and risk of it. The lower its value the better risk-return trade-off. So, a company set up to take large risks such as Mountain Ski Corp. would choose projects with high CV (Projects D and C), and a risk-averse company such as Lakeway Train Co. would choose projects with low CV (Project B).

Answer:

$340,000

Explanation:

The computation of Product X’s sales value at the split-off point is shown below:

= Total sales value - Product Y sales value at the split-off point - Product Z sales value at the split-off point  

= $600,000 - $150,000 - $110,000

= $340,000

Basically for determining the Product X sales value at the split-off point, we deduct the Product Y sales value and the Product Z sales value at the split-off point from the total sales value
