Suppose the expected returns and standard deviations of Stocks A and B are E(R_A) = .099, E(R_B) = .159, ?_A = .369, and ?_B = .629.

a-1.	Calculate the expected return of a portfolio that is composed of 44 percent A and 56 percent B when the correlation between the returns on A and B is .59. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))
