Answer:

23.56

Explanation:

Standard deviation of  the first stock (σ1) = 20%

Standard deviation of  the second stock (σ2) = 37%

The correlation coefficient between the returns (ρ) = 0.1.

Proportion invested in the first stock (W1) = 43%

Proportion invested in the second stock (W2) = 57%

The standard deviation of a two-stock portfolio's returns is given by

\sigma_{portfolio} = \sqrt{w_1^2\sigma_1^2+w_2^2\sigma_2^2+2w_1w_2\rho\sigma_1\sigma_2} \\\sigma_{portfolio} = \sqrt{0.43^2*0.2^2+0.57^2*0.37^2+2*0.43*0.57*0.1*0.2*0.37}\\\sigma_{portfolio} =0.2356=23.56\%

The standard deviation of this portfolio's returns IS 23.56%
