Consider the following table: Scenario Severe recession Mild recession Normal growth Boom Mean return Variance Probability 0.05 0.20 0.30 0.45 Covariance Required: 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 4 decimal places.) % %-Squared Stock Fund Rate of Return. -41% -11.0% 8% 34% Bond Fund Rate of Return. %-Squared -18% 14% 5% 6% 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 4 decimal places.)
