Suppose that the index model for stocks A and B is estimated from excess returns with the following results:
RA = 1.8% + 0.75RM + eA
RB = -2.0% + 1.1RM + eB
σM = 23%; R-squareA = 0.18; R-squareB = 0.10
What is the covariance between each stock and the market index? (Calculate using numbers in decimal form, not percentages. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)
