Answer:
Option D is correct one.
Company X has a lower coefficient of variation than Company Y.
Explanation:
This is because company X has a lower standard deviation of returns than Company Y. Coefficient of variation = standard deviation/mean*100. Also mean of X will be higher as its expected return is higher than Y. So, the numerator (standard deviation) is lower and denominator (mean) is higher in case of X. This will lower its coefficient of variation than Company Y.

Answer: B. Jean
Explanation:
Having Absolute Advantage in the production of a good means that you can produce more of that good given the same resources or at least the same Quantity as others given lower resources.

Cost of equity is calculated as -
Cost of equity = Risk free return + Beta * (Market risk - Risk free return)
Given,
Risk free return = 5.3 %
Market risk = 12 %
Beta = 1.05
Cost of equity = 5.3 % + (1.05*(12-5.3%))
Cost of equity = 12.335 % or 12.24 %
