Question

You own a portfolio that is 31 percent invested in Stock X, 46 percent in Stock Y, and 23 percent in Stock Z. The expected returns on these three stocks are 11 percent, 14 percent, and 16 percent, respectively. What is the expected return on the portfolio?

Answer 1

Answer: 13.53%

Explanation:

The expected return on the portfolio will be calculated by multiplying the investment in each stock by the expected return of the stocks. This will be:

= (31% × 11%) + (46% × 14%) + (23% ×16%)

= 3.41% + 6.44% + 3.68%

= 13.53%
