Suppose your expectations regarding the stock price are as
follows:
| State of the Market | Probability | Ending Price  | 
HPR (including dividends)  | 
|||||||||
| Boom | 0.28 | $ | 140 | 53.5 | % | |||||||
| Normal growth | 0.23 | 110 | 20.0 | |||||||||
| Recession | 0.49 | 80 | −17.0 | |||||||||
Use the equations E(r)=Σsp(s)r(s)E(r)=Σsp(s)r(s) and
σ2=Σsp(s)[r(s)−E(r)]2σ2=Σsp(s) [r(s)−E(r)]2 to compute the mean and
standard deviation of the HPR on stocks. (Do not round
intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal
places.)
