The probability distributions of the risky funds are: Expected return Standard deviation Stock fund (S) 16% 34% Bond fund (B) 10% 25% The correlation between the fund returns is 0.11. Solve numerically for the proportions of each asset and for the expected return and standard deviation of the optimal risky portfolio. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to 2 decimal places.)
