Answer:
The expected return on the portfolio is:
10.31% ($3,331.40)
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Portfolio investments: Expected Returns % Expected Returns $
Stock M = $13,400 8.50% $1,139
Stock N = $18,900 11.60% $2,192.40
Total $32,300 10.31% $3,331.40
Total expected returns in percentage is Expected Returns $/Total Investments * 100
= $3,331.40/$32,300 * 100
= 10.31%
b) The expected returns on the portfolio is derived by calculating the expected returns for each investment and summing up. Then dividing the expected portfolio returns by the portfolio investment. This yields 10.31% percentage value.

To calculate how long it would take for the new refrigerator to pay for
itself in lower utility costs, the cost of new refrigerator will be divided by lower utility cost per
year
Cost of new refrigerator = $598
TO CALCULATE LOWER UTILITY COST PER YEAR
At a cost of only 12 cents per day
Annual cost will be 12 X 365 = 4380 Cents ($43.8)
Cost saved annually = Cost of old refrigerator – Cost of new
refrigerator.
Lower utility cost per year = $132 – $43.8
Lower utility cost per year = $88.2
How long would it take for the new refrigerator to pay for
itself in lower utility costs?
$598 ÷ $88.2
= 6.78 years
