Consider the data contained in the table below, which lists 30 monthly excess returns to two different actively managed stock portfolios (A and B) and three different common risk factors ( 1,2 , and 3 ). (Note: You may find it useful to use a computer spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel to calculate your answers.) a. Using regression analysis, calculate the factor betas of each stock associated with each of the common risk factors. Which of these coefficients are statistically significant at 5% level of significance? Fill in the table below. Use a minus sign to enter negative values, if any. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers for factor betas to three decimal places and answers for t-statistics to two decimal places. b.
