Answer:

the firm expected rate of return is 20.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the expected rate of return is shown below:

= Respective Probabilities × respective returns

= 0.50 × 0.46 + 0.30 × 0.10 + 0.20 × -0.28

= 0.23 + 0.03 - 0.056

= 0.204

= 20.4%

hence, the firm expected rate of return is 20.4%

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

And, the same is to be considered
