Stock A
Scenario Probability Return% =rate of return% * probability Actual return -expected return(A)% (A)^2* probability
Bear 0.3333 -3.2 -1.06656 -12.69905 0.005374991
Normal 0.3333 12.4 4.13292 2.90095 0.000280489
Bull 0.3333 19.3 6.43269 9.80095 0.003201634
Expected return %= sum of weighted return = 9.5 Sum=Variance Stock A= 0.00886
Standard deviation of Stock A% =(Variance)^(1/2) 9.41
Stock B
Scenario Probability Return% =rate of return% * probability Actual return -expected return(A)% (B)^2* probability
Bear 0.3333 -10.3 -3.43299 -7.596937 0.001923589
Normal 0.3333 -2.5 -0.83325 0.203063 1.37435E-06
Bull 0.3333 4.69 1.563177 7.393063 0.00182173
Expected return %= sum of weighted return = -2.7 Sum=Variance Stock B= 0.00375
Standard deviation of Stock B% =(Variance)^(1/2) 6.12
Covariance Stock A Stock B:
Scenario Probability Actual return% -expected return% for A(A) Actual return% -expected return% For B(B) (A)*(B)*probability
Bear 0.3333 -12.69905 -7.596937 0.003215475
Normal 0.3333 2.90095 0.203063 1.96339E-05
Bull 0.3333 9.80095 7.393063 0.00241506
Covariance=sum= 0.005650168
Correlation A&B= Covariance/(std devA*std devB)= 0.980824107
