Question

What percentage do you have invested in bonds if your portfolio consists of $45,000 invested in U.S. Treasuries, $32,000 in high-grade corporate

bonds, and $74,000 in growth stocks?

51%
45%
50%
52%

Answer 1

To find the percentage invested in bonds, we need to add the amounts invested in U.S. Treasuries and high-grade corporate bonds, and then divide by the total value of the portfolio:

Total amount invested in bonds = $45,000 + $32,000 = $77,000

Total portfolio value = $45,000 + $32,000 + $74,000 = $151,000

Percentage invested in bonds = (Total amount invested in bonds / Total portfolio value) x 100%

= ($77,000 / $151,000) x 100%

= 51.0%

Therefore, the answer is 51%.

I hope this helps you!
