Expected return of traditional services= 8%

Expected return of new securities underwriting services= 16%

Weight of traditional services =75% or 0.75

Weight of new securities underwriting services =25% or 0.25

Expected return of new combined form =( weight of traditional services * expected return of traditional services )+ (weight of new service underwriting services *expected return of new underwriting services)

=(0.75* 8) + (0.25* 16)%

= 6 + 4 %
