An analyst attempting to predict a corporation’s earnings next year believes that the corporation’s business is quite sensitive to the level of interest rates. He believes that, if average rates in the next year are more than 1% higher than this year, the probability of significant earnings growth is 0.1. If average rates next year are more than 1% lower than this year, the probability of significant earnings growth is estimated to be 0.8. Finally, if average interest rates next year are within 1% of this year’s rates, the probability for significant earnings growth is put at 0.5. The analyst estimates that the probability is 0.25 that rates next year will be more than 1% higher than this year and 0.15 that they will be more than 1% lower than this year.a. What is the estimated probability that both interest rates will be 1% higher and significant earnings growth will result?b. What is the probability that this corporation will experience significant earnings growth?c. If the…
