Such returns are calculated for all the stocks in the S&P 500. A weighted average of those returns, using each stock's total market value, is then calculated, and that average return is often used as an indicator of the "return on the market."arrow_forwardWhat is the expected return of Stock B given the information below about its returns across future states of nature?
