Bill Dukes has $100,000 invested in a 2 stock portfolio; $75,000 is invested in Stock X and the remainder is invested in Stock Y. X's beta is 1.50 and Y's beta is 0.70. What is the portfolio's beta?
A. 1.30
B. 1.00
C. 0.98
D. 1.39
E. 1.44

A. 1.30

Explanation:

In order to find portfolio beta we will multiply each individual stock's beta with its weight in the portfolio. Stock X has a weight of 75%(75,000/100,000) and a Beta of 1.5. Stock Y has a weight of 25%(25,000/100,000) and a Beta of 0.7.

Portfolio Beta = (1.5*0.75)+(0.70*0.25)=1.3
