    5.7%

    Explanation:

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

    = (Expected return of the boom * weightage of boom) + (expected return of the normal economy * weightage of normal economy) + (expected return of the recession * weightage of recession)

    = (15% * - 4%) + (7% * 80%) + (5% * 14%)

    = - 0.6% + 5.6% + 0.7%

    = 5.7%

    We simply multiply the weightage with each its expected return

    The weightage of the normal economy is

    = 100% - 15% - 5%

    = 80%
