In this note an m-state aperiodic irreducible Markov Chain is considered with an associated reward matrix. Expressions for the second moment of Sn, the accumulated reward in n transitions, have been obtained using elementary methods. These provide an alternative computational method compared to methods using the eigen value structure. Asmyptotic forms are also considered.
