Question

A portfolio is comprised of 100 shares of Stock A valued at $22 a share, 600 shares of Stock B valued at $17 each, 400 shares of Stock C valued at $46 each, and 200 shares of Stock D valued at $38 each. What is the portfolio weight of Stock C

Answer 1

Answer:

.4792 or 47.92%

Explanation:

The computation of the weight of C is shown below:

But before that first determine the following things

For A is

= 100 × $22

= $2200

For B

= 600 × $17

= $10200

For C

= 400 × $46

= $18400

For D

= 200 × $38

= $7600

So,

Total = 38400

And, finally

weight of C is

= $18,400 ÷ $38,400

= .4792 or 47.92%
