11-5. Using the data in the following table, estimate (a) the average return and volatility for each stock, (b) the covariance between the stocks, and (c) the correlation between these two stocks. 2006 2008 Year Stock A Stock B 2004 -10% 21% 2005 20% 7% 2007 -5% -3% 5% 30% 2% 2009 9% 25% -8% a. RA= -10+20 + 5 - 5+2 + 9 = 3.5% 6 21+30 + 7 - 3 - 8 + 25 RB 6 = 12% + (-0.1 -0.035) + 18(0.2 - 0.08) + (0.05 - 0.035) + 1 Variance of A = 56(-0.05 -0.035) + (0.02 -0.035) + (0.09 -0.035) 1 I = 0.01123 Volatility of A = SD(R) = Variance of A = 5.01123 = 10.60% + (0.21 - 0.12)' + (0.3 -0.12)* + Variance of B = -(0.07 -0.12) + (-0.03 -0.12)* + -(-0.08 - 0.12) + (0.25 - 0.12) 1 5 @
