Ans 10.74%

Stock INVESTMENT (i) Beta (ii) Investment* Beta (i)* (ii)
A              3,00,000                    1.50                         4,50,000.00
B              3,00,000                   (0.50)                       (1,50,000.00)
C            10,20,000                    1.25                      12,75,000.00
D            22,50,000                    0.75                      16,87,500.00
Total            38,70,000                      32,62,500.00
AVERAGE BETA = (INVESTMENT * BETA) / TOTAL INVESTMENT
3262500 / 3870000
0.843023256
Required Return = Risk free Return + (Market Return - Risk free return)* Beta
Required Return = 4% + (12% - 4%)*0.843023256
Required Return = 10.74%
