    1.10

    Explanation:

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

    = Stock A Beta * Invested in Stock A : Total value + Stock B Beta * (Total value - Invested in Stock A) : Invested in Stock A

    = 0.75 * $47,500 : $100,000 + 1.42 * ($100,000 - $47,500) : $100,000

    = 0.75 * $47,500 : $100,000 + 1.42 * $52,500 : $100,000

    = 0.75 * 0.475 + 1.42 * 0.525

    = 0.35625 + 0.7455

    = 1.10175

    or

    = 1.10

    Therefore for computing the portfolio beta we simply applied the above formula.
