Economic conditions Boom Normal Recession Probability 0.20 0.60 0.20 Expected return +40% +15% -10% Required: 1.1. Calculate the expected risk of return of this investment. 1.2. Estimate the overall risk (standard deviation) of this investment. 1.3. Discuss the difference between expected return and required return. (10) (15) (10)
1.1 Expected return
Expected return = Probability * Expected return
= .20*40% + .60*15% + .20*(-10%) = 15%
Expected return of Investment = 15%
1.2 )Standard deviation
= √.20*(.40-.15)^2 + .60*(15-.15)^2 + .20*(-.10-.15)^2 = √.025
Standard deviations = 15.81%
standard deviations of Investment = 15.81%
