Answer:
7.06%
Explanation:
We will work this through a weighted-average approach:
Stock Shares Price Value Weight
A Â 9000 $14 $126000 0.557522124 (126,000/226,000)
B Â 2000 $10 Â $20000 Â 0.088495575(20,000/226,000)
C Â 4000 $12 Â $48000 Â 0.212389381(48,000/226,000)
D Â 2000 $16 $32000 Â 0.14159292(32,000/226,000)
     $226000 1
Then we aply that weight to each stock return
Stock Return Weighted return
A 0.06 0.033451327
B 0.06 0.005309735
C 0.09 0.019115044
D 0.09 0.012743363
     0.070619469
The estimated return will be of 7.06%
