Answer:

The new portfolio beta is 1.31 rounded off to two decimal places.

Explanation:

The portfolio beta is a function of the sum of the weighted average betas of the individual stock's that form up the portfolio. The portfolio beta is calculated using the following formula,

Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N

Where,

  • w is the weightage of each stock in the portfolio

The beta of the portfolio when one stock with a beta of 1 is sold is,

The sum of individual stock betas for 19 stocks is = 20 * 1.31  -  1 * 1  = 25.2

The new portfolio beta when one stock with a beta of 0.97 is added is,

Portfolio beta = (25.2 + 0.97) / 20

Portfolio beta = 1.3085 rounded off to 1.31

SSSSS [86.1K]
You don't communicate to convey activities, or to integrate activities. We can, therefore, eliminate answers "a," "b," and "e." 

So is our purpose to discuss or organize an activity? Either answer fits. We discuss activities to gather the opinions of others regarding said activities. But discussing is, itself, a form of communicating, it is not an outcome. The other points listed are outcomes "we provide... influence... [through communication]." Therefore, the answer must be "c. organize".
