An investor has found that company1 have an expected return on E(X) = 4% and variance for the return equal V(X) = 0.49. Company 2 has E(Y) = 6% and variance V(Y) = 0.64. The correlation between the companies return is ρ(X,Y) = 0.3. The investor wants to invest p (0<p<1) in company1 and (1-p) in company2. The combined investment have a return: R = pX + (1-p)Y. Let p=0.4 such that R= 0.4X +0.6Y. Find the Expectation and variance of R. how are these results in comparison with X and Y separatley?
