Question

You have a portfolio worth $63,500 that has an expected return of 13.3 percent. The portfolio has $16,900 invested in Stock O, $24,700 invested in Stock P, with the remainder in Stock Q. The expected return on Stock O is 18.1 percent and the expected return on Stock P is 11.3 percent. What is the expected return on Stock Q

Answer 1

Answer:

Return on Stock Q is 11.85%

Explanation:

Investment in Q = ($63,500 - $16,900 - $24700)

Investment in Q =21900

Portfolio return = Respective return * Respective investment weight

13.3= (16900 / 63500 * 18.1%) + ( $24,700 / $63,500 * 11.3% ) + ( $21900 / $63,500 * Return on Q)

13.3 =  4.817165354 + 4.39533071% + (21900 / 63500*Return on Q)

13.3 = 9.21259843% + (21900 / 63500*Return on Q)

Return on Q = (13.3% -9.21259843%) *63500/21900

Return on Q = (4.08740157 * 2.899543379)

Return on Q = 11.85159816%

Return on Q =11.85%
