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.

Why might an economist favor activist policies in developed countries and laissez-faire policies in developing countries
Maslowich

Answer:

One of the main economic issues in developing countries is rampant corruption or extremely inefficient government institutions. This means that less government intervention is always better in developing countries.

On the other hand, in developed countries, the checks and balances system exists within government institutions and even though corruption may exist, it is not as widely spread. The most severe economic problem in developed countries is inequality and huge economic actors. This is why activist policies may be necessary in developed countries, at least in certain economic sectors.
