Answer: 19.29%
Explanation:
From the question, Fremont Enterprises has an expected return of 18% and 57% of the portfolio is put in Fremont. The portfolio return of Fremont will be the expected return multiplied by the weight. This will be:
= 18% × 57%
= 18 × 0.57
= 10.26%
We are also told that Laurelhurst News has an expected return of 21% and that 43% of the portfolio is put in Laurelhurst News. The portfolio return here will be the expected return multiplied by the weight. This will be:
= 21% × 43%
= 21% × 0.43
= 9.03%
The the expected return of the portfolio will now be:
= 10.26% + 9.03%
= 19.29%
