1) Expected Return = wa x Ra + wb x Rb = 60% x 10% + 40% x 16% = 12.40%
2) Std. Dev. = [(w1 x SD1)^2 + (w2 x SD2)^2 + (2 x w1 x w2 x SD1 x SD2 x corr12)]^(1/2)
= [(60% x 6%)^2 + (40% x 12%)^2 + (2 x 60% x 40% x 6% x 12% x -0.4)]^(1/2)
= 4.71%
3) Yes it does. You are getting returns better than A and with volatility too less than A.
4) CoV for A = SD / Return = 6% / 10% = 0.6 and
for B, CoV = 12% / 16% = 0.75
