Question

ou own a portfolio that has $2,700 invested in Stock A and $3,800 invested in Stock B. Assume the expected returns on these stocks are 12 percent and 18 percent, respectively. What is the expected return on the portfolio

Answer 1

the expected return on the portfolio is 15.50%

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Total investment is

= $2,700 + $3,800

= $6,500

Now

Expected return of portfolio is

= ($2,700 ÷ $6,500) × 12 + ($3,800 ÷ $6,500) × 18

= 4.98% + 10.52%

= 15.50%

Hence, the expected return on the portfolio is 15.50%
