Consider the following table:
Stock Fund | Bond Fund | ||
Scenario | Probability | Rate of Return | Rate of Return |
Severe recession | 0.10 | −39% | −12% |
Mild recession | 0.20 | −19% | 18% |
Normal growth | 0.40 | 24% | 11% |
Boom | 0.30 | 29% | −8% |
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 | %-Squared | |
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 %-Squared
