Answer: E. crude oil refinery purchasing a firm engaged in drilling and exploring for oil.

Explanation:

Backward integration occurs when Company A acquires Company B because Company B produces the inputs that goes into the manufacturing of the goods produced by Company A.

In the scenario in option E, a crude oil refinery produces goods such as gasoline and other types of fuel but they do this by refining crude oil which is what the firm that they purchased is engaged in acquiring. This is therefore backward integration.

The table is inserted below

(Click on the icon located on the top-right corner of the data table below in order to copy its contents into a spreadsheet.)

a.  Calculate the coefficient of variation for each alternative.  

A?  

B?  

C?

D?  

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

Coefficient of Variation = Standard Deviation/Expected Return * 100%

                                                   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
