The Coca$-$Cola Company $($KO$)$

PepsiCo, Inc. $($PEP$)$

Nestle S$.$A$.($NSRGY$)$

Finally, answer the questions below and intersperse the calculated values, tables and graphs as appropriate. In the Appendix section you must include your R code.

Answer these five questions:

$1.$Calculate, interpret and compare the coefficient of variation of the three companies and the portfolio. In this answer you should include the section of your R code that allows you to do the computation.

$2.$Comment and compare the linear relationship between each of the three companies versus the portfolio based on the Covariance and Correlation measures. Your response should include: interpretation of each measure and distinction between the two measures.

$3.$Calculate and interpret the linear relationship between the companies using the correlation coefficient. Here you need to calculate the correlation between company pairs. For example: company $1$ vs company $2,$ company $1$ vs company $3,$ etc. In this answer you should include the section of your R code that allows you to do the computation.

$4.$Discuss and compare the correlation results in questions $2$ and $3$ above.
