Qualil evaluated a project using scenario analysis. His results indicate that the project normally will generate a net present value (NPV) equal to $19,800, which will occur 70 percent of the time.
But, he also discovered that 10 percent of the time the NPV will be -$20,100, and 20 percent of the time the NPV will be $31,500. The firm's policy is not to invest in projects that have coefficients of variation greater than 0.8.
Should Qualil recommend that the project be purchased?
