Suppose that the index model for stocks A and B is estimated from excess returns with the following results:

\[ R_A = 2.60\% + 0.90 R_M + e_A \]

\[ R_B = -2.00\% + 1.20 R_M + e_B \]

\[ \sigma_M = 26\%; \; R\text{-square}_A = 0.21; \; R\text{-square}_B = 0.12 \]

Assume you create portfolio P with investment proportions of 0.70 in A and 0.30 in B.
