A portfolio manager is using a moving average model in which she assumes weights decline exponentially back through time. The original volatility was calculated at 1.5%. However, she believes that a decay factor of 0.96 for an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) model is appropriate for modeling a more realistic variance measure. If the stock market return is 1% today, what is the new estimate of volatility using the EWMA model?
A
0.97%.
B
1.31%.
C
1.48%.
D
1.58%.
