The following annual returns for Stock E are projected over the next year for three possible states of the economy. What is the stock’s expected return and standard deviation of returns? E(R) = 8.5% σ = 22.70%

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

The following annual returns for Stock E are projected over the next year for three possible states of the economy. What is the stock’s expected return and standard deviation of returns? E(R) = 8.5% ; σ = 22.70%; mean = $7.50; standard deviation = $2.50

State              Prob     E(R)

Boom             10%     40%

Normal           60%     20%

Recession       30%   - 25%

The expected return of the stock E(R) is 8.5%.

The standard deviation of the returns is 22.7%

Explanation:

Expected return

The expected return of the stock can be calculated by multiplying the stock's expected return E(R) in each state of economy by the probability of that state.

The expected return E(R) = (0.4 * 0.1)  +  (0.2 * 0.6)  +  (-0.25 * 0.3)

The expected return E(R) = 0.04 + 0.12 -0.075 = 0.085 or 8.5%

Standard Deviation of returns

The standard deviation is a measure of total risk. It measures the volatility of the stock's expected return. The standard deviation (SD) of a stock's return can be calculated by using the following formula:

SD = √(rA - E(R))² * (pA) + (rB - E(R))² * (pB) + ... + (rN - E(R))² * (pN)

Where,

Here, the events are the state of economy.

So, SD = √(0.4 - 0.085)² * (0.1) + (0.2 - 0.085)² * (0.6) + (-0.25 - 0.085)² * (0.3)

SD = 0.22699 or 22.699% rounded off to 22.70%

there is no possible way mgk stands a chance with the greatest white rapper of all time. eminem killshots had more bars than rap devil and the reason mgk is doing all this is cause he not getting attention anymore til the release of rap devil and the disses he is putting on eminem. now rap devil was more fire than killshot so mgk might won the battle with rap devil but eminem won the war with killshot.
