Answer:

The portfolio's beta is 1.4

Explanation:

The portfolio beta is the weighted average of the individual betas of the stocks that form up the portfolio. For a two stock portfolio, the formula for portfolio beta can be written as:

Portfolio beta = wA * βa + wB * βb

Where,

  • w represents the weightage of investments in stocks
  • β represents the betas

Investment in Potts = 250000

Investment in Stohs = 500000 - 250000 = 250000

The portfolio beta = (250000/500000) * 2 + (250000/500000) * 0.8

Portfolio beta = 1.4
