- Given the data in the table, calculate Beta and Covariance.arrow_forwardEach stock's rate of return in a given year consists of a dividend yield (which might be zero) plus a capital gains yield (which could be positive, negative, or zero). Such returns are calculated for all the stocks in the S&P 500. A weighted average of those returns, using each stock's total market value, is then calculated, and that average return is often used as an indicator of the "return on the market."arrow_forwardGiven the following information on five stocks, construct: a.
