    A. 1.30

    Explanation:

    In order to find portfolio beta we will multiply each individual stock's beta with its weight in the portfolio. Stock X has a weight of 75% (75,000/100,000) and a Beta of 1.5. Stock Y has a weight of 25% (25,000/100,000) and a Beta of 0.7.

    Portfolio Beta = (1.5*0.75) + (0.70*0.25) = 1.3
