Often high-risk decisions generate larger returns while conservative decisions generate lesser returns. From a financial management standpoint does this make sense?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. The risk-return ratio is based on the principle that a high-risk decision should generate higher financial returns while a more conservative decision often generates lesser returns. Financial managers, of course, want high returns but must strive for a balance between risk and return. In fact, financial managers (along with other managers throughout the organization) must determine the potential return before committing money to more speculative projects.
