Calculations
1 Correlation coefficientINTU, S&P 500
= CovarianceINTU, S&P 500 ÷ (Standard deviationINTU × Standard deviationS&P 500)
= 20.65 ÷ (9.51% × 4.48%)
= 0.48
2 βINTU
= CovarianceINTU, S&P 500 ÷ VarianceS&P 500
= 20.65 ÷ 20.07
= 1.03
3 αINTU
= AverageINTU – βINTU × AverageS&P 500
= 0.39% – 1.03 × 1.18%
= -0.82%
Expected Rate of Return
