(Excel Formulas) You are considering an investment in the stock market and have identified two potential stocks (OMG and BRB) to purchase. The historical returns for the past five years are shown in the table below. A 1 Year D Portfolio Return 18.31% 2 2013 3 2014 B OMG Return 12.35% 17.01% 13.18% 8.51% 16.859 C BRB Return 22.28% 8.75% 17.78% 19.66% 4.03% 4 5 2015 2016 2017 15.94% 15.20 9.16% 6 7 8 Average Return 9 Standard Deviation 10 Covariance 13.58% 3.53% 14.50% 7.76% Type in the Excel formulas you should enter in the cells with bold borders in the table above to solve the following problems. a. Calculate the covariance between the two stocks. (2 Points) For Questions b, c, and d. suppose that you own a portfolio consisting of 40% in OMG and 60% in BRB over the past five years.
