The volatility of a share price affects the options price, the higher the volatility, the higher is the options price. There are many ways of computing volatility, but a popular method is to find the coefficient of variation of daily closing stock prices for a year. Calculate the volatility of the following share prices using daily closing price data from 1 Jan 2019 to 31 Dec 2019 in ASX from Yahoo Finance.
BHP (BHP Group Limited)
CSL (CSL Limited)
CBA (Commonwealth Bank Limited)
MYR (Myer Holdings Limited)
(Please do not write equations in the solution. Embed Excel screenshots in your answers so that the marker can identify the procedures you have adopted to find volatility. Express volatility as %).
