Expected return from Tech.com =[-20*.3]+[15*.2]+[30*.35]+[50*.15]

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â = 15%

Expected return from sam grocery : [5*.3]+[6*.2]+[8*.35]+[10*.15]

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â = 7%

Expected return from s&p (market) =[-4*.3]+[11*.20]+[17*.35]+[27*.15]=11%

Required return from tech.com :Rf+[Beta(Rm-Rf)]

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â = 5+ [1.68(11*5)]

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â = 5+ [1.68*6]

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â = 5+ 10.08

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â = 15.08%

Required return from sam 5 +[.52(11-5)].

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â = 5+ [.52 *6]

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â = 5+ 3.12

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â = 8.12%

since Both stock are yielding more than there expected return ,both are acceptable.However we will prefer most \"Sam grocery\"as it is yielding more by 1.12% than expected [8.12-7] as against Tech.com by .08% [15.08-15]
