A portfolio consists of $13,400 in Stock M and $18,900 invested in Stock N. The expected return on these stocks is 8.50 percent and 11.60 percent, respectively. What is the expected return on the portfolio?

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.
