    The expected rate of return on the investment is 10%

    Explanation:

    Expected rate of return is calculated as a weighted average of all possible payoff. It is calculated by multiplying potential payoffs by the chances of occurring and then adding these results.

    In this case

    Payoffs = - 10 percent Probabilities 0.30 (30%)

    Payoffs = 10 percent Probabilities 0.40 (40%)

    Payoffs = 30 percent Probabilities 0.30 (30%)

    Expected rate of return = - 10% x 30% + 10% x 40% + 30% x 30%

    Expected rate of return = - 0.03+0.04 + 0.09=0.1

    Expected rate of return = 10%
