The expected rate of return on Happy Dog Soap's stock over the next year is ---------.

The expected rate of return on Black Sheep Broadcasting's stock over the next year is------.

Answer 1

The first part of the question is missing, so I looked for it.

The expected rate of return on Happy Dog Soap's stock over the next year is:

= (return if market is strong x probability of strong market) + (return if market is normal x probability of normal market) + (return if market is weak x probability of weak market) = (33% x 0.25) + (20% x 0.45) + (-26% x 0.30) = 9.45%

The expected rate of return on Black Sheep Broadcasting's stock over the next year is:

same formula as before = (46% x 0.25) + (26% x 0.45) + (-33% x 0.30) = 0.133%
