Stock X has a 9.0% expected return, a beta coefficient of 0.7, and a 40% standard deviation of expected returns. Stock Y has a 12.0% expected return, a beta coefficient of 1.1, and a 30% standard
deviation. The risk-free rate is 6%, and the market risk premium is 5%.
a. Calculate each stock's coefficient of variation. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.
