Expected return = sum (probability x return)

STOCK BA :

Expected return = 0.10 x (-5%) + 0.70 x 15% + 0.20 x 40% = 18%  

STOCK BB :

Expected return = 0.10 x (-5%) + 0.70 x 12% + 0.20 x 28% = 13.5%

STOCK BC :

Expected return = 0.10 x (-7.5%) + 0.70 x 15% + 0.20 x 26% = 14.95%

As question has given return in %, i have written answer in % form

ANSWER : STOCK BA = 18%, STOCK BB = 13.5%, STOCK BC = 14.95%
