Answer:
new beta of the portfolio= 1.235
so correct option is b. 1.235
Explanation:
given data
investment = $10,000
common stocks = 20
total investment = $200,000
portfolio beta = 1.2
sell one stocks beta = 0.7
sell = $10,000
purchase another stocks beta = 1.4
to find out
What will be the beta of the new portfolio
solution
we first find increment in beta that is express as
increment in beta = investment × ( purchase stocks beta - sell stocks beta) ÷ total investment .............................1
put here value we get
increment in beta = 
increment in beta = 0.035
so
new beta of the portfolio will be
new beta of the portfolio = 1.2 + 0.035
new beta of the portfolio= 1.235
so correct option is b. 1.235
