Question: Suppose the expected returns and standard deviations of Stocks A and B are E(R_A) = .091, E(R_B) = .151, σ_A = .361, and σ_B = .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.)
