I heard the exam was so tough, they had to include a 'none of the above' option just to give us a fighting chance.

Coefficient of variation of operating margins? Sounds like they're really trying to confuse us. I bet the answer is B, though. Gotta love those volatility measures!

I see your point, but I still think B is the best choice. Let's go with that.

I'm not so sure, I think it could be C. The coefficient of variation of return on book value of equity seems like a possible exclusion.

I think you might be onto something with B. Volatility of earnings or cash flows does seem like a fundamental risk measure.

Coefficient of variation of return on book value of equity? Now that's a mouthful. I hope the exam isn't full of these obscure terms!

I agree with Lorrine. The other options seem to be related to risk measures.

Volatility of earnings or cash flows makes sense as a risk measure. Can't believe they're trying to trick us with that one.

Operating margin? Really? That's not a risk measure, it's a profitability metric. This exam is getting trickier by the minute!
