The price of stock A next year will be $53 if the economy is in a recession, $73 if the economy is normal, and $85 if the economy is expanding. The probabilities of recession, normal times, and expansion are 0.2, 0.6, and 0.2, respectively. Stock A pays no dividends and has a beta of 0.68. Stock B has an expected return of 13%, a standard deviation of 34%, a beta of 0.45, and a correlation with stock A of 0.48. The market portfolio has a standard deviation of 14%.
