The expected return for an asset is 18.75 percent. If the return distribution for the asset is described as in the following table, what is the variance for the asset's returns? (Round intermediate computations and final answer to 6 decimal places.)Return Probability0.10 0.250.20 0.500.25 0.25

Respuesta :

The expected return on portfolio for a security is 18.75 percent then the variance for the asset's returns is 29.6875% .

What is expected return on portfolio?

The variance of a portfolio measures how much the returns depart from the mean, whereas the expected return on portfolio represents the anticipated amount of returns that a portfolio may create.

In the given case scenario the expected return on portfolio  or average mean is 18.75% or  [tex]\bar{x}[/tex] = 0.1875

                    Statement of Expected Return using Probability

Return   Probability (p)         [tex]x-\bar{x}[/tex]           [tex](x-\bar{x})^2[/tex]×100           [tex]p(x-\bar{x})^2[/tex]

0.10               0.25              -0.0875          76.5625               19.140625    

0.20              0.50               0.0125              1.5625                0.781250

0.25              0.25                0.0625          39.0625               9.765625

Variance = 29.6875 summation of All the three probabilities with respective mean deviation from mean.

Therefore the variance i.e. square of standard deviation from the portfolio expected return is 29.6875%.
