Expected Rate of Stock A = 0.10(-0.10) + 0.20(0.02) + 0.40(0.12) + 0.20(0.20) + 0.10(0.38)
Expected Rate of Stock A = 12.00%
Expected Rate of Stock B = 0.10(-0.35) + 0.20(0) + 0.40(0.20) + 0.20(0.25) + 0.10(0.45)
Expected Rate of Stock B = 14.00%
As Stock B has higher expected rate of return one would select stock B.
