Explanation / Answer

Investment in Walmart = $20,000

Return in Walmart = 18%

Investment in IBM = $10,000

Return in IBM = 5%

Investment in ABC = $10,000

Return in ABC = 11%

Total value of investment = $20,000 + $10,000 + $10,000

                                          = $40,000

Total value of investment is $40,000

Expected portfolio return = ($20,000 × 18%) + ($10,000 × 5%) + ($10,000 × 11%)

                                         = $3,600 + $500 + $1,100

                                         = $5,200

Total Expected portfolio return is $5,200

Expected return in percentage term = $5,200 / $40,000

                                                         = 13%

Expected percentage return from portfolio is 13%.
