A stock’s returns have the following distribution:
Probability |
Stock Return |
|
|
0.70 |
18% |
0.15 |
51% |
Calculate the stock’s expected return.
a. |
21.90% |
|
b. |
18.00% |
|
c. |
20.00% |
|
d. |
18.60% |
|
e. |
19.33% |
Expected return = Sum of probability * stock return
= 0.15 * -11% + 0.7 * 18% + 0.15 * 51%
= 18.60%
hence choose d)
