The historical returns over the next 6 years, 20132018, for each of these stocks are shown in the following table: a. Calculate the actual portfolio return, rp, for each of the 6 years. b. Calculate the expected value of portfolio returns, rp, over the 6-year period. c. Calculate the standard deviation of expected portfolio returns, rp, over the 6-year period. d. How would you characterize the correlation of returns of the two stocks L and M ? e. Discuss any benefits of diversification achieved by Jamie through creation of the portfolio. a. The actual portfolio return for year 2013 is \%. (Round to two decimal places.) The actual portfolio return for year 2014 is \%. (Round to two decimal places.)
