Answer 1

Solution:-

A. To Calculate the weight of Stock in Portfolio-

Market value of CSH share = 90 shares * $20

Market value of CSH share = $1,800

Market value of EJH share = 25 shares * $30

Market value of EJH share = $750

Total Portfolio value = Market value of CSH share + Market value of EJH share

Total Portfolio value = $1,800 + $750

Total Portfolio value = $2,550

Weight of CSH Stock in Portfolio =

Weight of CSH Stock in Portfolio =

Weight of CSH Stock in Portfolio = 70.59%

Weight of EJH Stock in Portfolio =

Weight of EJH Stock in Portfolio =

Weight of EJH Stock in Portfolio = 29.41%

B. To calculate Return on your portfolio-

Return on CSH Share =

Return on CSH Share = 25%

Return on EJH Share =

Return on CSH Share = -3.333%

Return on Portfolio is weighted Average Return

Return On Portfolio = 25% * 0.7059 + (-3.333%) * 0.2941
