2. Linear Regression Consider the following return of the Performance Fund and the Excess Return on the Market Index for the same yeair: Table 1: Excess Return on the Market Index and Return of the Performance Fund Year Market Fund 2012 13.717.8 201323.2 20146.9 2015 16.8 2016 12.3 39 12.8 24.2 17.2 2.1. Calculation: Use the Ordinary Least Squares procedure to find out if there is a relationship between the Performance Fund y and the Excess Return on the Market Index r! in 2017, what would be the expected return of the Performance Fund? results! 22.

The formula for regression is y = ax+b

The values a and b are calculated with the above values of x and y

Then

a=

-1.76113

b=

1.657142

Therefor the Linear Regression formula is

Y = -1.76113+1.657142x

With this formula, we recalucte the values

Solution b.

For market Excess return 15%, the calculated Fund Value is 23.10

Solution c.
