Answer:

Portfolio SD = 0.18439 or 18.439%

Explanation:

The standard deviation of a stock or a portfolio is the measure of the total risk contained in the stock or portfolio. Risk can be defined as the volatility of the stock returns. To calculate the standard deviation of a two stock portfolio, we use the attached formula.

If the weight of stock x is 40%, the weight of stock y will be 1 - 40% = 60%

SD = √(0.4)^2 * (0.35)^2 + (0.6)^2 * (0.15)^2 + 2 * 0.4 * 0.6 * 0.25 * 0.35 * 0.15

SD = 0.18439 or 18.439%
