You own the following portfolio of stocks. What is the portfolio
weight of Stock C?
Stock | Number of Shares | Price per Share | |||||
A | 120 | $ | 25 | ||||
B | 610 | $ | 21 | ||||
C | 400 | $ | 45 | ||||
D | 200 | $ | 44 |
Value of Stock A in Portfolio = Number of Shares * Stock Price = 120 * $25 = $3,000
Value of Stock B in Portfolio = Number of Shares * Stock Price = 610 * $21 = $12,810
Value of Stock C in Portfolio = Number of Shares * Stock Price = 400 * $45 = $18,000
Value of Stock D in Portfolio = Number of Shares * Stock Price = 200 * $44 = $8,800
Portfolio weight of Stock C = Value of Stock C in Portfolio / (Value of Stock A in Portfolio + Value of Stock B in Portfolio + Value of Stock C in Portfolio + Value of Stock D in Portfolio)
Portfolio weight of Stock C = $18,000 / ($3,000 + $12,810 + $18,000 + $8,800)
Portfolio weight of Stock C = 0.422 or 42.2%
