    Portfolio require return
    Hi,everyone. I'm junoir here
    I've a problem question about portfolio require return..
    In here, can I please any expert to solve my problem?

    Question:

    Stock Amount Invested Beta (β)
    1 300K 0.6
    2 300K 1.0
    3 500K 1.4
    4 500K 1.8

    Risk-free rate is 6% at the portfolio's required rate of return is 12.5%. The manager would like to sell all of her holdings of stock 1 and use the proceeds to purchase more share of stock 4. What would be the portfolio's required rate of return following this change?
