You have a portfolio that is invested 16 percent in Stock A, 36 percent in Stock B, and 48 percent in Stock C. The betas of the stocks are .61, 1.16, and 1.45, respectively. What is the beta of the portfolio

Beta= 1.2112

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Stock A:

Proportion= 0.16

Beta= 0.61

Stock B:

Proportion= 0.36

Beta= 1.16

Stock C:

Proportion= 0.48

Beta= 1.45

To calculate the beta of the portfolio, we need to use the following formula:

Beta= (proportion of investment A*beta A) + (proportion of investment B*beta B) + (proportion of investment C*beta C)

Beta= (0.16*0.61) + (0.36*1.16) + (0.48*1.45)

Beta= 1.2112

all of them make sense but, i would have to say ask someone who has been there/or lives there, and/or read recent newspapers from that city.

hope this !
