Question
Suppose that the index model for stocks A and B is estimated from excess returns with the following results:
RA= 4.0%+ 0.50RM + eA
RB = -1.2% + 0.70RM + eB
OM 17%; R-squareA = 0.26; R-squareg = 0.18
Break down the variance of each stock to the systematic and firm-specific components.
Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Calculate using numbers in decimal form, not percentages. For example use "20"
for calculation if standard deviation is provided as 20%. Round your answers to nearest whole number.
