Explanation: The expected rate of return may be explained as a projected view of the possible return which is expected to be earned on a particular investment over a set period of time. The outcome expressed as a percentage gives the percentage rate of return. Mathematically, it is the weighted average of all possible outcomes obtained by the product of the probability of occurrence of an event multiplied by the return in such event. The portfolio weight, is the probable value which represents the market value of the investment in each stock expressed as a proportion of the total investment.
