2. You are considering buying stock A, which is a large firm with a steady business. If the economy grows rapidly, you may earn 12% on your investment. A declining economy will likely result in a 5% loss. Slow growth will return 5%.

   If the probability is 15% for rapid growth, 20 % for a declining economy, and 65% for slow growth, what is the expected return of the investment?

3. You are considering investing in three stocks with the following expected returns:

   • Stock B     10%
   • Stock C     15%

What is the expected return on the portfolio if an equal amount is invested in each stock? What would the expected return be if 50% of your funds are invested in stock A and the remaining funds divided evenly between stocks B and C?
