Question

You own a portfolio that has $1,600 invested in Stock A and $2,700 invested in Stock B. Assume the expected returns on these stocks are 11 percent and 17 percent, respectively. What is the expected return on the portfolio

Answer 1

the expected return on the portfolio is 14.77%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the expected return on the portfolio is shown below:

The expected return is

= ($1,600 ÷ $4,300) × 11% + ($2,700 ÷ $4,300) × 17%

= 14.767 %

= 14.77%

The $4,300 comes from

= $1,600 + $2,700

= $4,300

hence, the expected return on the portfolio is 14.77%
