    15.5%

    Explanation:

    The computation of the standard deviation of your portfolio is shown below:

    Standard deviation of portfolio = weight of US Market portfolio ^2 * Standard deviation of US Market portfolio ^2 + weight of Non US Market portfolio^ 2 * Standard deviation of Non US Market portfolio^2 + 2 * weight of US Market portfolio * weight of Non US Market portfolio * Standard deviation of US Market portfolio * Standard deviation of Non US Market portfolio * correlation

    = [0.25^2 * 18.2^2 + 0.75^2 * 17.1^ 2 + 2 * 0.25 * 0.75 * 18.2 * 17.1 * 0.47]

    = (0.0625 * 331.24 + 0.5625 * 292.41 + 54.852525

    = 20.7025 + 164.480625 + 54.852525

    = 240.03565

    Now take the square root of 240.03565 i. e 15.5%

    We simply applied the above formula
