consider the following probability distribution of price in one year for security with current price of $40:
| Stock price in one year ($) | Probability PR |
| 35,00$ | 40% |
| 45,00$ | 35% |
| 50,00$ | 25% |
The expected return for security is closest to:
a) 7,55%
b) 4,5%
c) 0,0%
d) 5,65%
Homework Answers
Ans d) 5.65%
| Probability (P) | Return (Y) | (P * Y ) |
| 40% | -5 | -2.00 |
| 35% | 5 | 1.75 |
| 25% | 10 | 2.50 |
| TOTAL | 10 | 2.25 |
| Expected Return = | (P * Y) / Share Price * 100 | |
| 2.25/ 40 * 100 | ||
| 5.65% |

Statistical measures of stand-alone risk 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: James owns a two-stock portfolio that invests in Blue Llama Mining Company (BLM) and...
