Answer:  ER(P) = ERX(WX) + ERY(WY)
                    16 = 13(1-WY)  + 9(WY)
                     16 = 13 - 13WY + 9WY 
                     16 = 13 - 4WY
                    4WY = 13-16
                    4WY = -3
                      WY = -3/4
                      WY = -0.75
                      WX = 1 - WY
                      WX = 1 - (-0.75)
                      WX = 1 + 0.75
                      WX = 1.75
  The amount to be invested in stock Y = -0.75 x $106,000
                                                                     = -$79,500
The Beta of the portfolio could be calculated using the formula:
                      BP = BX(WX) + BY(WY)
                      BP = 1.14(1.75) + 0.84(-0.75)
                      BP = 1.995 - 0.63
                      BP = 1.365
Explanation: The expected return of the portfolio is equal to expected return of stock X multiplied by the weight of stock X plus the expected return of stock Y multiplied by weight of security Y. The weight of security Y is -0.75. The weight of security X is equal to 1 - weight of security Y. Thus, the weight of security X is 1.75 since the weight of security Y is negative. The amount to be invested in security Y is -0.75 x $106,000, which is equal to -$79,500
The Beta of the portfolio equals Beta of stock X multiplied by weight of stock X plus the Beta of stock Y multiplied by weight of stock Y. The weights of the two stocks have been obtained earlier. Therefore, the Beta of the portfolio is 1.365.
