Answer:
The expected return on the portfolio is:
10.31% ($3,331.40)
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Portfolio investments: Expected Returns % Expected Returns $
Stock M = $13,400 8.50% $1,139
Stock N = $18,900 11.60% $2,192.40
Total $32,300 10.31% $3,331.40
Total expected returns in percentage is Expected Returns $/Total Investments * 100
= $3,331.40/$32,300 * 100
= 10.31%
b) The expected returns on the portfolio is derived by calculating the expected returns for each investment and summing up. Then dividing the expected portfolio returns by the portfolio investment. This yields 10.31% percentage value.
