A measure of the variability of a distribution, expressed as a proportion of the expected value.
It is calculated as:
Standard Deviation / Expected value
Example
The Standard deviation of the Net Present Value of a project = $100m.
The Expected Net Present Value = $50m.
Coefficient of variation is given by:
= $100m / $50m
= 2.0.
