The Ajax Company uses a portfolio approach to manage their research and development (RD) projects. Ajax wants to keep a mix of projects to balance the expected return and risk profiles of their RD activities. Consider a situation in which Ajax has six RD projects as characterized in the table. Each project is given an expected rate of return and a risk assessment, which is a value between 1 and 10, where 1 is the least risky and 10 is the most risky. Ajax would like to visualize their current RD projects to keep track of the overall risk and return of their RD portfolio. a. Create a bubble chart in which the expected rate of return is along the horizontal axis, the risk estimate is on the vertical axis, and the size of the bubbles represents the amount of capital invested. Format this chart for best presentation by adding axis labels and labeling each bubble with the project number. b. The efficient frontier of RD projects represents the set of projects that have the highest expected rate of return for a given level of risk. In other words, any project that has a smaller expected rate of return for an equivalent, or higher, risk estimate cannot be on the efficient frontier. From the bubble chart in part a, which projects appear to be located on the efficient frontier?
