Question

You own a portfolio that is invested 15 percent in Stock X, 35 percent in Stock Y, and 50 percent in Stock Z. The expected returns on these three stocks are 9 percent, 15 percent, and 12 percent, respectively. What is the expected return on the portfolio

Answer 1

Answer:

12.60%

Explanation:

The expected return on the portfolio is the sum of the weighted expected return of each stock in the portfolio

(0.15 x 9) + (0.35 x 15) + (0.5 x 12)

= 1.35 + 5.25 + 6

= 12.6%
