Explanation / Answer

1)

portfolio weight of Xerox=(700*17.84)/(700*17.84+800*8.65+500*45.23)=29.717% or 0.297

portfolio weight of Qwest=(800*8.65)/(700*17.84+800*8.65+500*45.23)=16.467% or 0.165

portfolio weight of Liz Claiborne=(500*45.23)/(700*17.84+800*8.65+500*45.23)=53.816% or 0.538

2)

Adobe Systems stock=9000/29000=0.3103 or 31.0345%

Dow Chemical=10000/29000=0.3448 or 34.4828%

Office Depot.=10000/29000=0.3448 or 34.4828%
