Question

A portfolio is invested 16 percent in Stock G, 56 percent in Stock J, and 28 percent in Stock K. The expected returns on these stocks are 10 percent, 16 percent, and 20 percent, respectively. What is the portfolio's expected return

Answer 1

Answer:

16.16%

Explanation:

The formula to compute the expected rate of return is shown below: -

Expected rate of return = (Weightage of Stock G × Expected Returns G) + (Weightage of Stock J × Expected Returns J) + (Weightage of Stock K × Expected Returns K)

= (16% × 10%) + (56% × 16%) + (28% × 20%)

= (0.16 × 0.1) + (0.56 × 0.16) + (0.28 × 0.20)

= 0.016 + 0.0896 + 0.056

= 0.1616

= 16.16%
