    Expected rate of return of portfolio is 9.1%

    Explanation:

    Portfolio β = (Nike beta x weightage of Nike) + (Microsoft beta x weightage of Microsoft)

    Portfolio β = (0.69 x 70,000 / 100,000) + (1.26 x 30,000 / 100,000)

    Portfolio β = 0.861

    We will calculate the expected rate of return by using the formula of CAPM for Expected rate of return

    Expected Rate of return = Risk free rate + beta (Market premium)

    Expected Rate of return = 3.9% + 0.861 (9.9% - 3.9%)

    Expected Rate of return = 3.9% + 5.166% = 9.066% = 9.1%
