Stocks A and B have the following probability distributions of expected future returns:

Probability	A	B
0.1	(11%)	(27%)
0.2	2	0
0.4	10	24
0.2	21	28
0.1	34	37

Calculate the expected rate of return, r_B, for Stock B (r_A = 10.90%.) Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. %

Calculate the standard deviation of expected returns, _A, for Stock A (_B = 18.29%.) Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. %

Now calculate the coefficient of variation for Stock B. Round your answer to two decimal places.

Is it possible that most investors might regard Stock B as being less risky than Stock A?

a). If Stock B is more highly correlated with the market than A, then it might have a higher beta than Stock A, and hence be less risky in a portfolio sense.

b). If Stock B is more highly correlated with the market than A, then it might have a lower beta than Stock A, and hence be less risky in a portfolio sense.

c). If Stock B is more highly correlated with the market than A, then it might have the same beta as Stock A, and hence be just as risky in a portfolio sense.

d). If Stock B is less highly correlated with the market than A, then it might have a lower beta than Stock A, and hence be less risky in a portfolio sense.

e). If Stock B is less highly correlated with the market than A, then it might have a higher beta than Stock A, and hence be more risky in a portfolio sense.
