Question

You own a stock portfolio invested 35 percent in Stock Q, 25 percent in Stock R, 25 percent in Stock S, and 15 percent in Stock T. The betas for these four stocks are .83, 1.21, 1.22, and 1.39, respectively. What is the portfolio beta

Answer 1

Beta= 1.1065

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following formula:

Proportions:

35 percent in Stock Q, 25 percent in Stock R, 25 percent in Stock S, and 15 percent in Stock T.

Betas:

0.83, 1.21, 1.22, and 1.39,

To calculate the beta of the portfolio, we need to use the following formula:

Beta= (proportion of investment A*beta A) + (proportion of investment B*beta B)

Beta= (0.35*0.83) + (0.25*1.21) + (0.25*1.22) + (1.15*1.39)

Beta= 1.1065
