What is the expected return on an equally weighted portfolio of these three stocks? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Expected return % b. What is the variance of a portfolio invested 15 percent each in A and B and 70 percent in C? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 6 decimal places, e.g., 32.161616.) Variance

Explanation / Answer

Expected Return of Stock A = (0.64*0.10)+ (0.36*0.10) = 10.00%

Expected Return of Stock B = (0.64*0.18)+ (0.36*0.04) = 12.96%

Expected Return of Stock C = (0.64*0.36)+ (0.36*-0.07) = 20.52%

Portfolio retrun = (0.33*10%)+(0.33*12.96%)+(0.33*20.52%)

Portfolio retrun = 14.35%
