Hull Consultants, a famous think tank in the Midwest, has provided probability estimates for the four potential economic states for the coming year. The probability of a boom economy is 10%, the probability of a stable growth economy is 20%, the probability of a stagnant economy is 53%, and the probability of a recession is 17%.

If the estimates for both the probabilities of the economy and the returns in each state of the economy are correct, which investment would you choose, considering both risk and retum? Forecasted Returns for each Economy Stable Investiment Boom Growth Se Recession Stock 28% 14% 3% - 12% Corporate bond 9% 8% 5% 4% Government bond 8% 7% 4% 3% What is the variance of the stock investment? % (Round to six decimal places.)
