Answer:

b. 3.70 percent

Explanation:

Expected rate of return of a stock, given probabilities,  is calculated by summing up the product of probability of each state occurring by the expected return of the stock should that happen.

Expected rate of return = SUM (probability *return)

Boom;(probability* return) = (0.15* 0.10) = 0.015 or 1.5%

Normal ;(probability* return) = (0.70* 0.04) = 0.028 or 2.8%

Recession ; (probability* return) = (0.15* -0.04) = -0.006 or -0.6%

Next, sum up the expected return for each state of the economy to find the expected rate of return on this stock;

= 1.5% + 2.8% -0.6%

= 3.7%

Therefore, the correct answer is choice B.

Which answer is not a cost to the investor that is included in the calculation of an investment's interest rate
jeyben [28]

Answer:

Risk of a bad investment

Explanation:

When an investor is calculating an investment's interest rate, he/she must include all brokerage commissions and fees , inflation rate (interest rate must exceed the inflation rate) and the investor's opportunity cost.

Investors are risk adverse, which means that a risky investment should yield a higher return. That could be considered a rational investment rule, but it is not included in the calculation of the interest rate.
