Answer 1

Answer: 1.02

Step-by-step explanation:

The Portfolio Beta will be the weighted average of the betas of the individual stocks in Portfolio 1.

Portfolio Beta = (weight in G * beta of G) + (weight in H * beta of H) + (weight in I * beta of I) + (weight in J * beta of J)

= (0.25 * 0.45) + ( 0.25 * 0.82) + ( 0.25 * 1.14) + ( 0.25 * 1.66)

= 0.1125 + 0.205 + 0.285 + 0.415

= 1.0175‬

= 1.02
