b. 8.92%
c. 9.46%
d. 10.00%
e. 10.54%

Answer 1

b. 8.92%

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for the portfolio expected return

Using this formula

Portfolio expected return = (Stock A allocated fund x Stock A expected return) + (Stock B allocated fund x Stock B expected return)

Let plug in the formula

Portfolio expected return= (54%*8%) + (46%*10%)

Portfolio expected return=0.0432+0.046

Portfolio expected return=0.0892*100

Portfolio expected return =8.92%

Therefore the portfolio expected return will be 8.92%
