Answer:
the expected return on the portfolio is 10.98%
Explanation:
The computation of the expected return is shown below;
Return on Stock M = $15,000 × 8.8% = $1,320
Return on Stock N = $22,900 × 12.40% = $2,840
Now
Portfolio return is
= ($1,320 + $2,840 ) ÷ ($37,900)
= 10.98%
The $37,900 comes from
= $15,000 + $22,900
= $37,900
hence, the expected return on the portfolio is 10.98%
