Answer:

60%

Explanation:

Since the question suggests a combined expected return portfolio of 12.8%, we ignore the standard deviation for both of the securities.

The percentage of the portfolio will consist of security A, Wa =

(Combined portfolio expected return - expected return of security B) / (expected return of security A - expected return of security B)

Wa = (0.128 - 0.11) / (0.14 - 0.11)

Wa = 0.018/0.03

Wa = 0.60 = 60%

erastovalidia [21]

A capital gain is the return on an asset that results when its market price rises above the price an investor paid for it.  A capital gain is the profit that someone receives from the sale of a property or an investment. If you invest in an item and then sell it for more than what you paid for it originally, then you have a capital gain because you profited off the item.
