Projects expected npv and standard deviation


Problem: Huang Industries is considering a proposed project whose estimated NPV is $12 million. This estimate assumes that economic conditions will be "average." However, the CFO realizes that conditions could be better or worse, so she performed a scenario analysis and obtained these results:

Economic Scenario Probability of Outcome NPV

Recession 0.05 ($70 million)
Below average 0.20 (25 million)
Average 0.50 12 million
Above Average 0.20 20 million
Boom 0.05 30 million

Calculate the project's expected NPV, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation.
