Consider the following information for three stocks, A, B, and C that can be put into portfolios with the following allocations. Portfolio AC has 80% of its funds invested in Stock A and 20% in Stock C.
Portfolio BC has 20% of its funds invested in Stock B and 80% in Stock C.
Portfolio ABC has one third of its funds invested in each of the three stocks.
Stock Expected Return Standard Deviation Beta 1.0
A 10% 20% 1.0
B 10% 10% 1.0
С 12% 12% 1.5
Calculate the Beta of Portfolio AC to the second decimal place.
