Problem $11-37$ Standard Deviation and Beta

There are two stocks in the market, Stock A and Stock B$.$ The price of Stock A today is $$65.$ The price of Stock A next year will be $$54$ if the economy is in a recession, $$77$ if the economy is normal, and $$87$ if the economy is expanding. The probabilities of recession, normal times, and expansion are $\mathrm{.}10,\mathrm{.}70,$ and $\mathrm{.}20,$ respectively. Stock A pays no dividends and has a correlation of $\mathrm{.}60$ with the market portfolio. Stock B has an expected return of $18\mathrm{.}7$ percent, a standard deviation of $33\mathrm{.}0$ percent, a correlation with the market portfolio of $\mathrm{.}14,$ and a correlation with Stock A of $\mathrm{.}26.$ The market portfolio has a standard deviation of $17\mathrm{.}0$ percent. Assume the CAPM holds.
