The Excel calculations given above give the price movement of S&P index and Apple. To get the covariance, the average of the excess returns is calculated.
Excel analysis is used on the given spreadsheet and the data is obtained from that.
From this, 0.37 is obtained as the multiple regressions. The R-Square is obtained as 0.14. The standard error value is 8.32.
Therefore, the beta is 0.87.
