Consider the following table:
Stock Fund | Bond Fund | ||
Scenario | Probability | Rate of Return | Rate of Return |
Severe recession | .10 | –37% | –9% |
Mild recession | .20 | –11% | 15% |
Normal growth | .35 | 14% | 8% |
Boom | .35 | 30% | –5% |
a. Calculate the values of mean return and variance for the stock fund. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "Mean return" value to 1 decimal place and "Variance" to 4 decimal places.)
Mean return | % |
Variance | |
b. Calculate the value of the covariance between
the stock and bond funds. (Negative value should be
indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations.
Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
