a. What is the average annual return? b. What is the variance of the stock's returns? c. What is the standard deviation of the stock's returns? 

Expert Solution

Computation of Average Return, Variance and Standard Deviation:
Year Returns Deviation from Mean Square of Deviation  
    (Return - Average Return)  
1 -3.70% -13.85% 0.019182    
2 28.20% 18.05% 0.03258    
3 12.20% 2.05% 0.00042    
4 3.90% -6.25% 0.003906    
  40.60% Total = 0.05609    
Average Return = 10.15% Variance = 0.01870 (0.05609/(4-1))
   (40.60%/4) Standard Deviation = 13.67%

(0.01870^(1/2))

 

 

a) Average Return = 10.15%

b) Variance = 0.01870
