(Hint: calculate weights of each stock first). Enter the answer with 4 decimals (e.g. 0.1234).

Answer 1

the expected return of a portfolio that has invested is 0.0625

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the expected return of a portfolio is shown below;

= (0.32 × (6052 × (-0.01) + 5060 × 0.23 + 8047 × 0.2) + 0.68 × (6052 × 0.21 + 5060 × (-0.06) + 8047 × (-0.06))) ÷ (6052 + 5060 + 8047)

= 0.0625041808027559

= 0.0625

Hence, the expected return of a portfolio that has invested is 0.0625

Therefore the same should be considered and relevant
