Suppose that the index model for stocks A and B is estimated from excess returns with the following results:
RA = 3.5% + 0.65RM + eA
RB = –1.6% + 0.80RM + eB
σM = 21%; R-squareA = 0.22; R-squareB = 0.14
What are the covariance and correlation coefficient between the two stocks? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Calculate using numbers in decimal form, not percentages. Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)
