    (a) Excess return for Zynga is calculated using the formula;

    Excess return for Zynga = Zynga beta * Market Excess return

    = 1.3 * ( - 2.9%)

    = - 3.77% = - 3.8%

    (b) Excess return for Proctor and Gamble can be calculated using the formula;

    Excess return for Proctor and Gamble = Proctor and Gamble beta * Market Excess return
