If your portfolio has an expected return of 8.66 percent, then what is the expected return for Litchfield Design? Answer as a rate in decimal format so that 12.34% would be entered as .1234 and 0.98% would be entered as .0098.
Investment in Fairfax Paint = 15,000 * 7.2 = 108,000
Investment in Litchfield Design = 20,000 * 2.6 = 52,000
Total Investment = 160,000
Expected Return = Return on Fairfax Paint * Weight of Fairfax Paint + Return on Litchfield * Weight of Litchfield
8.66% = 5.67% * 108,000 / 160,000 + Return on Litchfield * 52000 / 160,000
8.66% = 3.82725% + Return on Litchfield * 0.325
Return on Litchfield = (8.66% - 3.82725%) / 0.325
Return on Litchfield = 4.83275% / 0.325
Return on Litchfield = 14.87%
