Question: Suppose the expected returns and standard deviations of Stocks A and B are E(RA) = .091, E(RB) = .151, σA = .361, and σB = .621.
a-1.Calculate the expected return of a portfolio that is composed of 36 percent Stock A and 64 percent Stock B when the correlation between the returns on A and B is .51. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
