Answer 1

Apple expected returns=(11%+22%)/2=16.50%

Google expected returns=(12%+13%)/2=12.50%

1.
=30%*16.50%+70%*12.50%=13.70%

2.
=sqrt((11%-16.50%)^2+(22%-16.50%)^2)/sqrt(2-1)=7.78%

3.
=sqrt((12%-12.50%)^2+(13%-12.50%)^2)/sqrt(2-1)=0.71%

4.
=(11%-16.50%)*(12%-12.50%)+(22%-16.50%)*(13%-12.50%)=0.00055

5.
=0.00055/(7.78%*0.71%)=0.995691372
