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.

Answer:
10.25%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Long-term debt = 45%, after-tax cost = 7%
Preferred stock = 15%, after-tax cost = 10%
Common stock equity = 40%, after-tax cost = 14%
Now,
The weighted average cost of capital for this firm will be calculated as:
= Long term debt × after-tax cost + Preferred stock × after-tax cost + Common stock equity × after-tax cost
or
= 0.45 × 0.07 + 0.15 × 0.10 + 0.40 × 0.14
or
= 0.0315 + 0.015 + 0.056
= 0.1025
or
= 0.1025 × 100%
= 10.25%
