1. You are creating a portfolio of two stocks. The first one has a standard deviation of 35% and the second one has a standard deviation of 30%. The correlation coefficient between the returns of the two is 0.5. You will invest 30% of the portfolio in the first stock and the rest in the second stock. What will be the standard deviation of this portfolio's returns? Answer in percent, rounded to two decimal places (e.g., 4.32%=4.32).

2. The standard deviation of a stock's annual returns is 60.0%. The standard deviation of market returns is 18.0%. If the correlation between the returns of the stock and the market is 0.7, what is this stock's beta? Round to two decimal places.
