Question

You have a portfolio that is 29 percent invested in Stock R, 12 percent invested in Stock S, with the remainder in Stock T. The expected return on these stocks is 9.8 percent, 11.2 percent, and 13.5 percent, respectively. What is the expected return on the portfolio

Answer 1

Answer: 12.15%

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected return is a weighted average of the returns of the individual stocks and the percentage of the portfolio invested in them.

= (Weight of R * Return of R) + (Weight of S + Return of S) + (Weight of T + Return of T)

= (29% * 9.8%) + (12% * 11.2%) + ( (1 - 29% - 12%) * 13.5%)

= 12.15%
