Some investors use the Sharpe ratio as a way of comparing the benefits of owning shares of stock in a company to the risks. The Sharpe ratio of a stock is defined as the ratio of the difference between the mean return on the stock and the mean return on government bonds (called the risk-free rate rf ) to the SD of the returns on the stock. The mean return on government bonds is rf = 0.03% per day. The table below describes the daily return of three stocks.
