Quesnon 72 puma y Turnomo -2 Tommy You are trying to decide whether to buy Vanguard's Large Stock Equity Fund and/or its Treasury Bond Fund (both are risky assets). You believe that next year involves several possible scenarios to which you have assigned probabilities. You have also estimated the expected returns for each of the two funds for each scenario. Your spreadsheet looks like the following: Next Year's Possibilities Probability Large Stock Equity Fund Expected Rate of Return Bond Fund Expected Rate of Return Severe Recession 0.20 -0.30 -0.09 Mild Recession 0.30 -0.15 0.10 Normal Growth 0.45 0.12 0.06 Strong Growth 0.05 0.45 0.02 (a) Given the probabilities for the four possible economic conditions and their associated rates of return, calculate the expected return for each fund. [4 Points] (b) Given the probabilities for the four possible economic conditions and their associated rates of return, calculate the standard deviation for each fund. [6 Points]
