Respuesta :

Answer:

return  = 8.51%

Explanation:

given data

Johnson invest = 220 shares

price = $70 per share

yahoo invest = 240 shares

price = $20 per share

Johnson increases = $80

Yahoo decreases = $18 per share

to find out

what is the return on your portfolio

solution

first we get Initial value of portfolio that is express as

Initial value of portfolio = (220 × 70) + (240 × 20)

Initial value of portfolio = $20200

and

Current value will be

Current value = (220 × 80) + (240 × 18)

Current value =$21920

and  

return = (Current value - beginning value) ÷ beginning value      .............1

put here value

return = [tex]\frac{21920-20200}{20200}[/tex]

return  = 8.51%
