Expected return=Respective return*Respective probability
=(0.1*25)+(0.2*15)+(0.4*7)+(0.2*2)+(0.1*-10)=7.7%
probability | Return | probability*(Return-Expected Return)^2 |
0.1 | 25 | 0.1*(25-7.7)^2=29.929 |
0.2 | 15 | 0.2*(15-7.7)^2=10.658 |
0.4 | 7 | 0.4*(7-7.7)^2=0.196 |
0.2 | 2 | 0.2*(2-7.7)^2=6.498 |
0.1 | -10 | 0.1*(-10-7.7)^2=31.329 |
Total=78.61% |
Standard deviation=[Total probability*(Return-Expected Return)^2/Total probability]^(1/2)
=(78.61)^(1/2)
=8.87%(Approx).
Variance=Standard deviation^2

(13-3) You want to assess the expected return and risk of your portfolio, which contains three stocks. You are basing your assessment on a simple forward-looking model based on three states of the world. The weights in your portfolio are 25% in Stock A, 45% in Stock B and 30% in Stock C. Your assessment of the probable returns of these three stocks in the states of the world are given in the table below. Boom Normal Bust Prob 0.20...

Variance and standard deviation (expected). Bacon and Associates, a famous Northwest think tank, has provided probability estimates for the four potential economic states for the coming year in the following table: The probability of a boom economy is 22%, the probability of a stable growth economy is 40%, the probability of a stagnant economy is 20%, and the probability of a recession is 18%. Calculate the variance and the standard deviation of the three investments: stock, corporate bond, and government...

Attempts: 0 Average: 12 5. The probabilistic approach to calculate expected returns Investors are willing to make investments because they expect a return from doing so. As the name suggests, expected returns are not assured. Because they occur in the future, expected returns cannot be observed either, so stock analysts substitute historical realized returns in their mathematical analyses. Realized return is the name for returns that have actually been earned. Many analysts use past realized returns to both predict future...

Ch 08: Assignment - Risk and Rates of Return Remember, the expected value of a probability distribution is a statistical measure of the average (mean) value expected to occur during all possible circumstances. To compute an asset's expected return under a range of possible circumstances (or states of nature), multiply the anticipated return expected to result during each state of nature by its probability of occurrence. Consider the following case: David owns a two-stock portfolio that invests in Falcon Freight...
