Consider the following table: Scenario Severe recession Mild recession Normal growth Boom Mean return Variance Probability 0.05 0.25 0.40 0.30 % Stock Fund Rate of Return -27% -7% 12% 17% Bond Fund Rate of Return Required: a. Calculate the values of mean return and variance for the stock fund. (Do not round intermediate calcu return" value to 1 decimal place and "Variance" to 2 decimal places.) -12% 18% 11% -8%

Consider the following table: Required: a. Calculate the values of mean return and variance for the stock fund. (Do not round intermediate calc return" value to 1 decimal place and "Variance" to 2 decimal places.) a. Calculate the values of mean return and variance for the stock fund. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "Mean return" value to 1 decimal place and "Variance" to 2 decimal places.) b. Calculate the value of the covariance between the stock and bond funds. (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
