Calculate the correlation coefficient (PAB) for the following situation: (Round intermediate calculations and the final ans place, e.g. 0.2921.) State of the economy High growth Moderate Recession Probability of occurrence 25% 20% 55% Expected return on stock A in this state 44.0% 23.0% -11.0% Expected return on stock B in this state 61.0% 31.0% -21.0%

Use the following information on states of the economy and stock returns to calculate the expected return for Dingaling Telephone:

Manshuk

Ef 43.

Calculate the standard deviation of this scenario Outcome 1: Recession. Probability = 40% . Return = 7.38%. Outcome 1: Recovery. Probability = 60%. Return = 17.27 %. Answer in % terms w/o % sign and to 4 decimal places (1.2345)

There is 11 percent probability of recession, 14 percent probability of a poor economy, 44 percent probability of a normal economy, and 31 percent probability of a boom. A stock has returns of −19.3 percent, 2.9 percent, 10.7 percent and 26.4 percent in these states of the economy, respectively. What is the stock's expected return?   Multiple Choice   10.24%    13.30%   15.42%   5.18%    11.18%

Current Attempt in Progress To achieve a zero standard deviation for a portfolio, calculate the weights of stock A and stock B, assuming the correlation coefficient is-1. Use the following information. (Round intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 31.21%.) State of the economy Probability of Expected return on Expected return on occurrence stock A in this state stock B in this state High growth 30% 41.5% 56.5% Moderate growth 25% 21.5% 26.5% Recession 45% -11.5% -21.5% Weight of stock A % Weight of stock B %

Stock W has the following returns for various states of the economy: Compute standard deviation for this stock. State of the Economy Probability Stock W's Return Recession 10% -30% Below Average 20% -2% Average 40% 10% Above Average 20% 18% Boom 10% 40%

Compute the standard deviation of the expected return given these three economic states, their likelihoods, and the potential returns: Probability 0.1 Economic State Fast Growth Slow Growth Recession 0.6 0.3 Multiple Choice 6.8 percent 16.5 percent 21.5 percent 46.4 percent Return 50% 8% -10%

Using the data in the following table, and the fact that the correlation of A and B is 0.48, calculate the volatility (standard deviation) of a portfolio that is 70% invested in stock A and 30% invested in stock B.
