Problem 6-5 Expected Return: Discrete Distribution

A stock's return has the following distribution:

Demand for the Company's Products	Probability of This Demand Occurring			Rate of Return if This Demand Occurs (%)
Weak		0.1		-45%
Below average		0.2		-8
Average		0.4		14
Above average		0.2		35
Strong		0.1		70
		1.0

Calculate the stock's expected return. Round your answer to two decimal places. %

Calculate the standard deviation. Round your answer to two decimal places. %

Suppose rRF = 3%, rM = 10%, and rA = 12%.
