Question

You have a portfolio consisting solely of Stock A and Stock B. The portfolio has an expected return of 10.2 percent. Stock A has an expected return of 11.7 percent while Stock B is expected to return 8.3 percent. What is the portfolio weight of Stock A?

Answer 1

Answer:

Weight of Stock A is 55,88%

Explanation:

We know Weight Stock A + Weight Stock B =1       so, Stock B=1- Stock A

(Stock A*11.7) +(Stock B* 8.3)=10.2

(Stock A*11.7) +((1- Stock A)* 8.3)=10.2

(11.7 Stock A) +(8.3- 8.3 Stock A)=10.2

(11.7 Stock A) - 8.3 Stock A=10.2-8.3

3,4 Stock A=1,9

Stock A=1,9/3,4=0,5588  55,88%
