Consider two stocks, Stock D, with an expected return of 13 percent and a standard deviation of 28 percent, and Stock I, an international company, with an expected return of 16 percent and a standard deviation of 38 percent. The correlation between the two stocks is -0.1. What is the weight of stock D in the minimum variance portfolio?

You own a portfolio that has $1,600 invested in Stock A and $2,700 invested in Stock B. Assume the expected returns on these stocks are 11 percent and 17 percent, respectively. What is the expected return on the portfolio? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
