Sagot :

Answer:

The answer is "6.8442%".

Explanation:

The expected portfolio return is the total average portfolio return for all stocks

ACE fund weight (wA) =3%

ACE fund (ErA) expected return= 11.830%

Bond fund ZQR weight (wB) = 97%.

The ACE fund (ErB) expected return = 6.690%

Expected portfolio return = [tex](wA \times ErA)+(wB \times ErB)[/tex]

                                          [tex]=(3\% \times 11.830 \% )+(97 \% \times 6.690\%)\\\\= 0.03 \times 0.1183 +0.97 \times 0.0669 \\\\=0.003549+ 0.064893\\\\=0.068442\\\\=6.8442 \%[/tex]
