4	and the fhird is a Treasury Bill fund.
5	The rate of return on the T-Bill fund is	5.00%
6	You have the following data on the two risky funds:
7		Expected	Standard
8	Fund	Return	Deviation
9	Bond	8.0%	0.2400
10	Stock	28.0%	0.3800
11	Correlation Coefficient (rho)		-.8000

What is the Covariance between the two assets in the optimal risky portfolio? COV = rho*SDstock*SDbond

COV = -0.07296

COV = -0.07796

COV = -0.07776

COV = 0.08296
