Summary Introduction

Adequate information:

Probability in bust (PBU) = 0.15

Probability in normal (PNO) = 0.60

Probability in boom (PB0) = 0.25

Expected return for stock A in Bust (R (A) BU) = -0.13

Expected return for stock A in Normal (R (A) NO) = 0.12

Expected return for stock A in Boom (R (A) BO) = 0.34

Expected return for stock B in Bust (R (B) BU) = -0.11

Expected return for stock B in Normal (R (B) NO) = 0.10

Expected return for stock B in Boom (R (B) BO) = 0.31

To compute: Expected return on each stock
