Answer 1

Dear student, only one question is allowed at a time. I am answering the first question

Expected return

= Weighted average of returns of different scenarios

In the current situation, weights are equally likely among the three alternatives. So, weight of each is 1/3 or 0.3333

The following table shows the calculations

Calculations	A	B	C = A x B
Particulars	Return	Weight	Expected return
Recession	-0.25	0.3333	-0.0833
Normal	0.11	0.3333	0.0367
Boom	0.2	0.3333	0.0667
		Return	0.02

So, as per above calculations, option B is the correct option
