Consider three possible prices per share at £95, £100, and £105 after 1 year. Also, consider three possible exchange rates at $1.60/£, $2/£, and $2.40/£ after 1 year. Calculate the standard deviation of both the pound- and dollar-denominated rates of return if each of the nine outcomes (three possible prices per share in pounds times three possible exchange rates) is equally likely.
