Expert Solution

Answer- Correct option is 'b'

The expected return on his portfolio = (Assets * returns) + (Assets * returns)

                                                     = (P1 * R1) + (P2 * R2)

                                                     = (70 * 0) + (30 * 2)

                                                     = 0 +   60

                                                     = 60

Change in percentage   =   60 / 100

                                  = 0.6

The expected return on his portfolio is 0.6 %.
