Consider the following table:
Stock Fund | Bond Fund | ||
Scenario | Probability | Rate of Return | Rate of Return |
Severe recession | 0.10 | ?37% | ?9% |
Mild recession | 0.20 | ?11% | 15% |
Normal growth | 0.35 | 14% | 8% |
Boom | 0.35 | 30% | ?5% |
a. Calculate the values of mean return and
variance for the stock fund. (Do not round intermediate
calculations. Round "Mean return" value to 1 decimal place and
"Variance" to 2 decimal places.)
Mean return = | % |
Variance = | |
b. Calculate the value of the covariance between
the stock and bond funds. (Negative value should be
indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations.
Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Covariance =
