Copy the following monthly return data for Mattel Inc. and S&P 500 Index to your Excel file:   S&P 500 Mattel, Inc. 03/25 -5.75% -8.78% 02/25 -1.42% 14.27% 01/25 2.70% 5.13% 12/24 -2.50% -6.78% 11/24 5.73% -6.67% 10/24 -0.99% 6.98% 09/24 2.02% 0.37% 08/24 2.28% -1.61% 07/24 1.13% 18.63% 06/24 3.47% -8.60% 05/24 4.80% -2.89% 04/24 -4.16% -7.52% 03/24 3.10% 0.56% 02/24 5.17% 10.12% 01/24 1.59% -5.24% 12/23 4.42% -0.63% 11/23 8.92% -0.42% 10/23 -2.20% -13.39% 09/23 -3.65% -0.59% 08/23 6.47% 4.04% 07/23 0.25% 9.01% 06/23 1.46% 12.23% For the data above, calculate the correlation, covariance, slope, intercept, and R-squared in Excel. Choose the right answer for each from the drop-down menus below.  The slope coefficient of the regression analysis, where Mattel Inc. stock returns are the dependent variable and S&P 500 returns are the independent variable, is [slope]. The intercept coefficient of the regression analysis, where Mattel Inc. stock returns are the dependent variable and S&P 500 returns are the independent variable, is [intercept]. The R-squared for the regression analysis, where Mattel Inc. stock returns are the dependent variable and S&P 500 returns are the independent variable, is [R-squared].  Make sure to answer all five questions! Save your work in MS Excel and submit your Excel file at the end of the exam.
