Remember, the expected valueof a probability distribution is a statistical measure of the average (mean) value expected to occur during all possible circumstances. To compute an asset's expected return under a range of possible circumstances (or states of nature), multiply the anticipated return expected to result during each state of nature by its probability of occurrence.Consider the following case:Tyler owns a two-stock portfolio that invests in Falcon Freight Company (FF) and Pheasant Pharmaceuticals (PP). Three-quarters of Tyler's portfolio value consists of FF's shares, and the balance consists of PP's shares.Each stock's expected return for the next year will depend on forecasted market conditions. The expected returns from the stocks in different market conditions are detailed in the following table:

Market Condition	Probability of Occurrence	Falcon Freight	Pheasant Pharmaceuticals
Strong	0.25	15%	21%
Normal	0.45	9%	12%
Weak	0.30	-12%	-15%

Calculate expected returns for the individual stocks in Tyler's portfolio as well as the expected rate of return of the entire portfolio over the three possible market conditions next year.

	The expected rate of return on Falcon Freight's stock over the next year is .
	The expected rate of return on Pheasant Pharmaceuticals's stock over the next year is .
	The expected rate of return on Tyler's portfolio over the next year is .
