- Risk and probability Micro-Pub, Inc., is considering the purchase of one of two digital cameras, R and S, each of which requires an initial investment of $4,000. Management has constructed the following table of estimates of rates of return and probabilities for pessimistic, most likely, and optimistic results: a. Determine the range for the rate of return for each of the two cameras. b. Determine the value of the expected return for each camera. c. Which camera purchase is riskier? Why? a. The range for the rate of return for camera R is %. (Round to the nearest whole number.) The range for the rate of return for camera S is ☐ %. (Round to the nearest whole number.) b. The value of the expected return for camera R is %. (Round to two decimal places.) The value of the expected return for camera S is %. (Round to two decimal places.) c. Which camera purchase is riskier? Why? (Select from the drop-down menus.) The purchase of is riskier because it has a range for the rate of return.arrow_forward4 analysts covered the stock of Flooring Chemical. One forecasts a 5% return for the coming year. The second expects the return to be -4%. The third predicts a return of 9%. The fourth expects a 1% return in the coming year. You are relatively confident that the return will be positive but not large, so you arbitrarily assign probabilities of being correct of 33%, 7%, 18%, and 42%, respectively to the analysts' forecasts. Given these probabilities, what is Flooring Chemical's expected return for the coming year?arrow_forwardWhy you would be a quality recipient of the Linda K Crandall Nutrition Scholarship.arrow_forward
