What is the average annual return? b. What is the variance of the stock's returns? c. What is the standard deviation of the stock's returns? Note: Notice that the average return and standard deviation must be entered in percentage format. The variance must be entered in decimal format. Year 1 2 3 4 Return (%) Year1: -4.1% Year2: 27.6% Year 3: 12.3% Year 4: 3.6%

Consider the following probability distribution for stocks A and B: Table 4 Probability Distribution for Stocks A and B State Probability Return on Stock A Return on Stock B 1 0.1 10% 8% 2 0.2 13% 7% 3 0.2 12% 6% 4 0.3 14% 9% 5 0.2 15% 8%         The variances of Stocks A and B are _____ and _____, respectively.         Group of answer choices   .015%; .019%     .022%; .012%     .032%; .02%     .015%; .011%     .014%; .021%

d. Interpret your results in (c) above, assuming that the historical average return of 8.5% from the stock is a good benchmark. e. Critically evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of applying the implied rate of return from the RIVM as a proxy of the expected return.
