Explanation:

To calculate the expected rate of return of a stock portfolio, we take the weighted average of the expected return for each stock contained in the portfolio. The formula to calculate the expected return of portfolio is,

Portfolio return = wA * rA  + wB * rB  +  ...  +  wN * rN

Where,

w represents the weight of each stock  in the portfolior represents the return of each stock

Portfolio return = 0.34 * 0.08  +  0.49 * 0.11  +  0.17 * 0.13

Portfolio return = 0.1032 or 10.32%
