Question: Problem 8-10 Suppose that the index model for stocks A and B is estimated from excess returns with the following results: R A = 3.2%

Problem 8-10

Suppose that the index model for stocks A and B is estimated from excess returns with the following results:

RA = 3.2% + 1.1RM + eA
RB = 1.4% + 1.25RM + eB
M = 30%; R-squareA = 0.28; R-squareB = 0.12

Break down the variance of each stock to the systematic and firm-specific components. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Calculate using numbers in decimal form, not percentages. Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)

Risk for A Risk for B
Systematic 1089 1406.25
Firm-specific

****not sure if those are correct im a little confused on the decimal form
