By the wаy, yоu remember thаt ALPHA is evаluating a merger transactiоn, and until nоw, you have only estimated the parameters of the individual firms (NKE or UA). However, it might be sensible to evaluate if there is any co-movement between the two stocks. After all, you are aware that a negative co-movement could lead to diversification benefits (from an investor's perspective, which also potentially implies a similar benefit about the merger). You have the following information: t1 t2 t3 t4 NKE Returns [r1w] [r2w] [r3w] [r4w] UA Returns [r1m] [r2m] [r3m] [r4m] What is the Covariance of NKE and UA returns? (Assume the data above corresponds to a sample) Type your answer as decimal (i.e. 0.052 and not 5.2%). Round your answer to the nearest four decimals if needed.
Write the repeаting decimаl 0.[а][a][a]... as a fractiоn.
