Suppose the expected returns and standard deviations of stocks A and B are E(RA) = 0.17, E(RB) = 0.27, StdDevA

a. Calculate the expected return and standard deviation of a portfolio that is composed of 35 percent A and 65 percent B when the correlation between the returns on A and B is 0.6.





b. Calculate the standard deviation of a portfolio that is composed of 35 percent A and 65 percent B when the correlation coefficient between the returns on A and B is -0.6.





c. How does the correlation between the returns on A and B affect the standard deviation of the portfolio?

Suppose the expected returns and standard deviations of stocks A and B are E(RA) = 0.17, E(RB) = 0.27, StdDevA
You still cut off part of the question and without the information the questions cannot be answered. Below are some links that may help you solve the problems on your own.
