    1.99

    Explanation:

    The computation of portfolio's beta is shown below:-

    Total Portfolio value = Value of Stock 1 + Value of Stock 2

    = $20,000 + $55,000

    = $75,000

    Weight of Stock 1 = Value of Stock 1 : Total Portfolio Value

    = $20,000 : $75,000

    = 0.2667

    Weight of Stock 2 = Value of Stock 2 : Total Portfolio Value

    = $55,000 : $75,000

    = 0.7333

    Beta of Portfolio = Weight of Stock 1 * Beta of Stock 1 + Weight of Stock 2 * Beta of Stock 2

    = 0.6 * 0.2667 + 2.5 * 0.7333

    = 1.99

    So, for computing the portfolio's beta we simply applied the above formula.
