    12.95%

    Explanation:

    Expected return of portfolio (rP) = wX*rX + wY*rY + wZ*rZ

    wX = weight of X = 25% or 0.25 as a decimal

    rX = return of X = 10% or 0.10 " "

    wY = weight of Y = 40% or 0.40 " "

    rY = return of Y = 13% or 0.13 " "

    wZ = weight of Z = 35% or 0.35 " "

    rZ = return of Z = 15% or 0.15 " "

    Next, plug in the numbers to the above formula;

    (rP) = (0.25*0.10) + (0.40*0.13) + (0.35 * 0.15)

    = 0.025 + 0.052 + 0.0525

    = 0.1295

    Therefore expected return of portfolio = 12.95%
