	Expected Return	Standard Deviation
Stock fund (s)	20%	30%
Bond fund (b)	12	15

The correlation between the fund returns is .10.
What are the investment proportions in the minimum-variance portfolio of the two risky funds, and what is the expected value and standard deviation of its rate of return?
