**Portfolio Expected Return Calculation** The table below outlines the returns on two investments, A and B, based on different economic states: Boom, Normal, and Bust. | State | Probability | Return on A | Return on B | |--------|-------------|-------------|-------------| | Boom | 0.20 | 20% | 5% | | Normal | 0.50 | 10% | 8% | | Bust | 0.30 | 8% | 12% | **Question**: What is the expected return of a portfolio with 80% of the funds invested in A? **Choices**: - 8.60% - 10.84% - 9.88% - 11.20% - 11.62% To find the expected return, calculate the weighted average return of both investments across the different states, considering the probability of each state and the allocation ratio between A and B (80% in A and 20% in B).
