Consider the following table for a period of six years Returns Large-Company Stocks -15.39% -26.68 37.37 24.07 7.44 6.71 U.S Treasury Bills Year Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 7.43% 8.06 6.01 5.77 5.52 7.85 Requirement 1 Calculate the arithmetic average returns for large-company stocks and T-bills over this time period. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).) Arithmetic average 3.11 % 6.77 % returns Large-company stock T-bills Requirement 2 Calculate the standard deviation of the returns for large-company stocks and T-bills over this time period (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).) Standard deviation Large-company stock T-bills Requirement 3: Calculate the observed risk premium in each year for the large-company stocks versus the T-bills (a) What was the arithmetic average risk premium over this period? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).) Risk premium (b) What was the standard deviation of the risk premium over this period? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percentage rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).) Risk premium standard deviation
