Answer #1

Average return=Total return/Total time period

=(17.39-11.26+22.94+13.59)/4=10.665%

Return	(Return-Average return)^2
17.39	(17.39-10.665)^2=45.225625
-11.26	(-11.26-10.665)^2=480.705625
22.94	(22.94-10.665)^2=150.675625
13.59	(13.59-10.665)^2=8.555625
	Total=685.1625%

Standard deviation=[Total (Return-Average return)^2/(Time period-1)]^(1/2)

=[685.1625/(4-1)]^(1/2)

=[685.1625/3]^(1/2)

=15.11%(Approx)
