At the end of that time, theequipment required for each method would be sold, thus accountingfor the large final year Cash Inflow. Mario believes that, due tothe operation will have no impact on the firm’s overall risk. Itis, therefore, decided to use the firms’ 12% Cost of Capital whenanalysing the proposed project. Mario would like you to estimatethe following: (a) Expected Net Present Value (b) StandardDeviation (c) Coefficient of Variation
