Question

You own a portfolio that has $2,600 invested in Stock A and $3,600 invested in Stock B. If the expected returns on these stocks are 12 percent and 15 percent, respectively, what is the expected return on the portfolio

Answer 1

Answer:

the  expected return on the portfolio is $7,052

Explanation:

The computation of the expected return on the portfolio is shown below:

Stock A return = $2,600 + 12% of 2600 = $2,912

And,  

Stock B return = $3,600 + 15% of 3600 = $4,140

So,  

Expected return on portfolio is

= $2,912 + $4,140

= $7,052

hence, the  expected return on the portfolio is $7,052
