Respuesta :

Answer:

6.75%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Beta of the stock = 1.12

Expected return = 10.8% = 0.108

Return of risk free asset = 2.7% = 0.027

Now,

Since it is equally invested in two assets

Therefore,

both will have equal weight = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] = 0.5

Thus,

Expected return on a portfolio = ∑(Weight × Return)

= [ 0.5 × 10.8% ] + [ 0.5 × 2.7% ]

= 5.4% + 1.35%

= 6.75%
