    0.12392 or 12.39%

    Explanation:

    Expected return (Boom):

    = Sum of (Probability * Rate of return) of all the stocks

    = 0.24 (0.39) + 0.52 (0.49) + 0.24 (0.29)

    = 0.418 or 41.80%

    Expected return (Good):

    = Sum of (Probability * Rate of return) of all the stocks

    = 0.24 (0.15) + 0.52 (0.20) + 0.24 (0.08)

    = 0.1592 or 15.92%

    Expected return (Poor):

    = Sum of (Probability * Rate of return) of all the stocks

    = 0.24 (-0.01) + 0.52 (-0.09) + 0.24 (-0.07)

    = - 0.066 or - 6.60%

    Expected return (Bust):

    = Sum of (Probability * Rate of return) of all the stocks

    = 0.24 (-0.20) + 0.52 (-0.24) + 0.24 (-0.10)

    = - 0.1968 or - 19.68%

    Hence,

    The expected return of the portfolio is as follows:

    E (Rp) = Sum of (Probability of state of economy * Expected return) of all the state of economy

    = 0.15 (0.418) + 0.55 (0.1592) + 0.25 (-0.066) + 0.05 (-0.1968)

    = 0.12392 or 12.39%
