Please put exact answer
The beta of a portfolio is the weighted average beta of the securities which constitute the porfolio
Stock | Investment | Weight | Beta | Weight*Beta |
A | 32,209 | 0.45 | 1.98 | 0.89 |
B | 15,729 | 0.22 | 0.57 | 0.13 |
C | 19,267 | 0.27 | 0.96 | 0.26 |
D | 4,425 | 0.06 | 2.02 | 0.12 |
Portfolio Beta = Weight*Beta
= .89+.13+.26+.12
= 1.40
