If during the year the portfolio manager sells all of the holdings of stock D and replaces it with 150,000 shares of stock E at $30 per share and 150,000 shares of stock F at $40 per share, what is the portfolio turnover rate? Stock - Sahres - Price

A. 210,000 - $30

B. 310,000 - 35

C. 410,000 - 10

D. 610,000 - 15

The correct answer is 30.10%.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Stock A price = $30

Value of stock A = $30 * 210,000 = $6,300,000

Stock B price = $35

Value of stock B = $35 * 310,000 = $10,850,000

Stock C price = $10

Value of stock C = $10 * 410,000 = $4,100,000

Stock D price = $15

Value of stock D = $15 * 610,000 = $9,150,000

So, We can calculate the portfolio turnover rate by using following formula:

Portfolio turnover rate = Value of stocks sold or purchase / Market Value of Assets

Where, Market Value of Assets = Value of stock A + Value of stock B + Value of stock C + Value of stock D

= $6,300,000 + $10,850,000 + $4,100,000 + $9,150,000

= $30,400,000

And Value of stock sold = value of stock D = $9,150,000

So, by putting the following values in the formula:

= Turnover Rate = 9,150,000 / 30,400,000

= 30.10%

Hence, the portfolio turnover rate is 30.10%.
