Answer: (a) 12.3%

(b) 1.28

Explanation:

Current Portfolio expected return = 12.0%

Current Portfolio beta = 1.20

New investment = Shares purchased × Price per share

                           = 100 × $10

                           = $1,000

New investment expected return = 15% and Beta = 2.00

Total value of your current portfolio = $9,000

New portfolio investment cost = $9,000 + $1,000

                                                   = $10,000

Weight\ of\ current\ portfolio = \frac{9,000}{10,000}

                                                   = 0.90

Weight\ of\ New\ investment = \frac{1,000}{10,000}

                                                       = 0.10

Expected return of new portfolio = Sum of (weight × Return)

                                                      = 0.90 × 12% + 0.10 × 15%

                                                      = 12.3%

Expected beta of new portfolio = Sum of (weight × Beta)

                                                     = 0.90 × 1.20 + 0.10 × 2.0

                                                      = 1.28

melomori [17]
<h2>Clarify the assignment would be the first step john should take to increase Kerry's responsibilities.</h2>

Option B: Feedback is always welcome but this is not the first step to add responsibilities.

Option C: Notifying others is the responsibility of John and not Kerry. So this choice is invalid.

Option D: Accountability though it is mandatory comes only in the closure part.
