The expected return on Big Time Toys is 13% and its standard deviation is 20.2%. The expected return on Chemical Industries is 13% and its standard deviation is 25.3%.

a. Suppose the correlation coefficient for the two stocks' returns is 0.31. What are the expected return and standard deviation of a portfolio with 56% invested in Big Time Toys and the rest in Chemical Industries? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Portfolio's expected return %
Portfolio's standard deviation %

b. If the correlation coefficient is 0.81, recalculate the portfolio expected return and standard deviation, assuming the portfolio weights are unchanged. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Portfolio's expected return %
Portfolio's standard deviation %

c. Why is there a slight difference between the results, when the correlation coefficient was 0.31 and when it was 0.81?
