- The standard deviation of stock returns for Stock A is 40%. The standard deviation of the market return is 20%. If the correlation between Stock A and the market is 0.70, then what is Stock A’s beta?arrow_forwardStock R has a beta of 1.4, Stock S has a beta of 0.95, the expected rate of return on an average stock is 10%, and the risk-free rate is 7%. By how much does the required return on the riskier stock exceed that on the less risky stock? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.arrow_forwardGive typing answer with explanation and conclusion Assume that two stocks are available. The first stock (Stock A) has an expected return of 25% and a standard deviation of 20%; the second stock (Stock B) has an expected return of 12% and a standard deviation of 10%. If the correlation between the stocks is 0.10, what are the weight of Stock A (WA) and Weight of Stock B(WB) in the minimum-variance portfolio?
