Beta of Stock C is 1.6

correct option is d. 1.6

Explanation:

given data

portfolio beta = 1.2

stock A beta = 0.9

stock B beta = 1.1

to find out

beta of stock C

solution

we will apply here Portfolio Beta equation that is express as

Portfolio Beta = ( Weight of Stock A × Beta of Stock A ) + ( Weight of Stock B   × Beta of Stock B ) +  ( Weight of Stock C × Beta of Stock C )    ......................1

here weight for each stock =

put here value we will get

1.2 =  ( × 0.9 ) + ( × 1.1 ) +  ( × Beta of Stock C )

solve it we will get

Beta of Stock C = 1.599

so Beta of Stock C is 1.6

and correct option is d. 1.6
