Explanation / Answer

1) There could be 2 answer for this question:

Answer 1: Weight of A in portfolio = 152 / [152 + 120] = 56.88%

Weight of B = 120 / [152 + 120] = 44.12%

Answer 2: Weight of A in portfolio = 152 * $30 / [(152 * $30) + (120 * $20] = 65.52%

Weight of A in portfolio = 120 * $20 / [(152 * $30) + (120 * $20] = 34.48%

2) The formula to calculate the return on portfolio = ?[WiXi]

Here Wi = Weight of the stock

Xi = Return of the stock

Portfolio return = 12.70%

3) Portfolio return = 14.08%

4) Portfolio return = 16%

5) CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) = Cost of Equity = Risk free rate + Beta * Risk Premium

0.124 = 0.045 + [Beta * 0.10]

0.0790 = Beta * 0.10

Beta = 0.79

I hope my solution solves your query.
