Based on the following information, calculate the standard deviation of Stock A.
Round all intermediate calculations to 6 decimal places. State of the Economy Probability of State Occurring Return of Stock A if State Occurs Recession 0.20 0.03 Normal 0.50 0.08 Boom 0.30 0.12
a. 3.81% b. 8.20% c. 3.12% d. 9.76%
Expected return=respective return*Respective probability
=(0.2*3)+(0.5*8)+(0.3*12)=8.2%
probability | Return | probability(Return-Expected Return)^2 |
0.2 | 3 | 0.2*(3-8.2)^2=5.408 |
0.5 | 8 | 0.5*(8-8.2)^2=0.02 |
0.3 | 12 | 0.3*(12-8.2)^2=4.332 |
Total=9.76% |
Standard deviation=[Total probability(Return-Expected Return)^2/Total probability]^(1/2)
=3.12%(Approx).
