Coefficient of Variation
To Lease or Not To Lease (Continued)
Coefficient of variation is our solution to the scenario when one project has better expected cash flows but worse variance.
It provides a convenient measure of how much risk is taken on relative to the expected cash flows. In this example, option X offered a higher expected return relative to its risk. So even though it had a lower expectation it is the better project because of its substantially lower risk.
