Kruka [31]

Answer:

The beta of stock T is 1.82

Explanation:

The portfolio beta is made up of the weighted average of the individual stock betas in the portfolio.

The formula for portfolio beta is,

Portfolio beta = wA * beta of A + wB * beta of B + ... + wX * beta of X

The weight of stock T in the portfolio is = 1 - (0.11 + 0.56)   = 0.33 or 33%

Let beta of Stock T be x. The beta of Stock T is:

1.47 = 0.11 * 0.84  +  0.56 * 1.39  +  0.33 * x

1.47 = 0.0924 + 0.7784 + 0.33x

1.47 - 0.0924 - 0.7784 = 0.33x

0.5992 / 0.33 = x

x = 1.815 rounded off to 1.82
