Problem 6-06

Given:

	E(R1) = 0.12
	E(R2) = 0.16
	E(1) = 0.05
	E(2) = 0.06

Calculate the expected returns and expected standard deviations of a two-stock portfolio having a correlation coefficient of 0.75 under the conditions given below. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to four decimal places.
