Question

You have a portfolio that is invested 24 percent in Stock R, 38 percent in Stock S, and the remainder in Stock T. The beta of Stock R is .71, and the beta of Stock S is 1.26. The beta of your portfolio is 1.37. What is the beta of the Stock T?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.90

Explanation:

The computation of the beta of the stock T is shown below:

Portfolio beta = Invested percentage in stock R × beta of Stock R + Invested percentage in Stock S × Beta of stock S + Invested percentage in Stock T × Beta of Stock T

1.37 = 0.24 × 0.71 + 0.38 × 1.26 + 0.38 × Beta of Stock T

1.37 = 0.1704 + 0.4788 + 0.38 × Beta of Stock T

1.37 = 0.6492  + 0.38 × Beta of Stock T

0.7208 = 0.38 × Beta of Stock T

So, the beta of stock T is 1.90
