Suppose that the index model for stocks A and B is estimated from excess returns with the following results:

RA = 3.80% + 1.25RM + eA

RB = -1.80% + 1.60RM + eB

M = 18%; R-squareA = 0.24; R-squareB = 0.18

Assume you create portfolio P with investment proportions of 0.60 in A and 0.40 in B.

a. What is the standard deviation of the portfolio? (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) (In percent)

c. What is the firm-specific variance of your portfolio? (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

d. What is the covariance between the portfolio and the market index? (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.
