calculate return

Question

suppose that a security costs $3,000 today and pays off some amount b in one year. suppose that b is uncertain according to the following table of probabilities:

b:                     3,000    3,300    3,600   3,900    4,200

probability        0.1       0.2         0.3        0.2         0.2

 

calculate the return (in percent) for each value of b.  (Note: You may just calculate the total return and not worry about how this is split between current yield and capital-gains yield).

Answer 2

uppose that a security costs $3,000 today and pays off some amount b in one year. suppose that b is uncertain according to the following table of probabilities:
