Estimation of beta
The beta of a stock depends on its covariance with the market return and the variance of the market return. Suppose that the predicted volatility for the Walmart return is 2% and the predicted volatility of the S&P 500 is 1%, while the correlation of their standardized returns is 0.5. What is the beta of the Walmart return?
