Stock and Market Risk and Return. Provide an introduction paragraph describing the price range of your stock during the period 2006-2016. You may also want to include when your company went public and when it started paying dividends as well as any price splits during the period in question.
Calculate the company's stock average return, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation for the period 2006-2016. Use the closing price for the last day of trading for each year (December 31st) and annualized dividend. You may use finance.yahoo.com or marketwatch.com. If your stock has split, use the adjusted price. To obtain the annual divided, just simply add the quarterly dividends. Similarly, provide the same information for the S&P 500 market index.
Example (2006 to 2007):

YearActual Price orDividend*Capital Gain/lossDividend Yield (DY)Total Return

adjusted price(CG/L) (P2007-P2006)Dividend**2007/P2006 (%)

2007$25$2=(25-20)/20 =.25 =25%2/20 = .10 =10%.25 +.10 =.35=35%

* The divided is annualized. The $2 represents the sum of the four dividend quarters.
