Problem 11-28 Portfolio Standard Deviation

Suppose the expected returns and standard deviations of Stocks A and B are E(RA) = .091, E(RB) = .151, A = .361, and B = .621.

a-1.

Calculate the expected return of a portfolio that is composed of 36 percent A and 64 percent B when the correlation between the returns on A and B is .51. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

Expected return %

a-2.

Calculate the standard deviation of a portfolio that is composed of 36 percent A and 64 percent B when the correlation between the returns on A and B is .51. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

Standard deviation %

b.

Calculate the standard deviation of a portfolio with the same portfolio weights as in part (a) when the correlation coefficient between the returns on A and B is .51. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
