Amount Invested in Portfolio is $1800

- Risk Free Assets return = 3%

- Risky Asset A Return = 11.8%

Expected Return of Portfolio = 8%

Let the weight of investment in risky Asset A is X

& weight of Risk free asset is (1-X)

Caluclating the Weight of risky Asset A in Portfolio:-

Expected Return of Portfolio = (Weight of Risky Asset A)(Expected Return of Risky Asset A) + (Weight of Risk Free Asset)(Expected Return of Risk Free Asset)

8% = (X)(11.8%) + (1-X)(3%)

8% = 11.8%*X +3% - 3%*X

5% = 8.8%*X

X = 56.8%
