Answer:

Expected r = 0.17

Explanation:

The expected return on the investment can be calculated by taking the return in each scenarios and multiplying it with the probability of that scenarios and taking the sum of the results. Thus, the equation to calculate expected return will be,

Expected r = pA * rA  +  pB * rB  + ... + pN * rN

Where,

  • pA, pB, ... represents the probability of each scenario A, B and so on
  • rA, rB, ... represents the probability of each scenario A, B and so on

Expected r = 0.5 * 0.15  +  0.3 * 0.25  +  0.2 * 0.1

Expected r = 0.17
