D?  

b.  If the firm wishes to minimize​ risk, which alternative do you​ recommend? ​ Why?

                                                   Standard

                          Expected         deviation            Coefficient of

Alternative          return               of return             variation

A                          20%                  8.5%                   42.5%

B                          25%                  8.6%                   34.4%

C                          19%                   6.6%                   34.21%

D                          16%                   4.9%                   30.63%

(b)

Coefficient of Variation, CV, denotes the risk per unit of return. This implies that a low CV means a low risk per unit of return. Hence, the firm can minimize risk by opting for option D which gives the lowest CV and therefore offers the lowest risk

Tanzania [10]

The answer to this question is called telecommuting or remote working arrangement. Telecommuting occurs when the employee is allowed to work from home for a certain period of time, thus decreasing the amount of time the employee has to spend in the office.

This arrangement is beneficial to both the employer and employee since the employer can reduce real estate cost for the office while the employee can reduce the associated stress with commuting to work as well as the costs.
