Consider the two (excess return) index model regression results
for A and B:
RA = –1.8% + 2RM
R-square = 0.640
Residual standard deviation = 12.6%
RB = 1.4% + 1RM
R-square = 0.590
Residual standard deviation = 11.4%
If rf were constant at 6% and the regression had been run using total rather than excess returns, what would have been the regression intercept for stock A? (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
