Answer:

Portfolio expected return = 0.092225  or  9.2225%

Explanation:

The expected portfolio return is a function of the weighted average of the individual stocks' returns that form up the portfolio. The expected return on the portfolio containing two stocks can be calculated as follows,

Portfolio Expected Return = wA * rA  + wB * rB

Where,

  • w represents the weight of stocks
  • r represents the return from each stock

To calculate the weight of each stock in the portfolio, we first need to calculate the total investment in the portfolio.

Total Investment = 4740 + 3260 = 8000

Portfolio expected return = 4740/8000  *  8%  +  3260/8000  *  11%

Portfolio expected return = 0.092225  or  9.2225%
