Consider the two (excess return) index model regression results for A and B.  RA= 0.9% + 1.1RM , R-square = 0.590, and Residual Standard Deviation = 11% RB= -1.4% + 0.6RM, R-square = 0.456, and Residual Standard Deviation = 9.2% Which stock has more firm-specific risk, market risk, and greater fraction of return variability for market movement? Also, if rf were constant at 4.4% and the regression had been run using total rather than excess returns, what would have been the regression intercept for stock A (write as percentage, rounded to 2 decimal places)?
