Answer:
Portfolio weight - Stock A = 46.473%
Portfolio weight - Stock B = 53.527%
Explanation:
The weightage of portfolio refers to the amount of investment in each stock in the portfolio expressed as a percentage of total investment in the portfolio. The weightage of portfolio can be calculated by as follows,
Portfolio weightage = Investment in Stock A / Total Investment in Portfolio +
Investment in Stock B / Total Investment in Portfolio + ... +
Investment in Stock N / Total Investment in Portfolio
Total investment in portfolio = 190 * 95 + 165 * 126 = 38840
Investment in Stock A = 190 * 95 = 18050
Investment in Stock B = 165 * 126 = 20790
Portfolio weight - Stock A = 18050 / 38840 = 46.473%
Portfolio weight - Stock B = 20790 / 38840 =53.527%
