Answer 1

Answer:

Expected return on the portfolio = $3,879.00

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Stock   Number of Shares   Price per Share  Expected Return  Expected

                                                                                                       Value

F                   310                         $ 40                   13.32 %           $1,651.68

G                  315                         $ 26                   10.05 %            $823.09

H                 255                         $ 52                   10.59 %          $1,404.23

Total           880                                                                          $3,879.00

b) The expected return on the portfolio is the addition of the expected returns of each class of shares.  This is obtained by multiplying the number of shares in each class with the price and the expected return in percentage.  This gives a weighted value for the class of shares, which are then added to obtain the expected return on the portfolio.
