Information provided:

Portfolio value= $42,000

Investment in Intel= $22,400

Investment in GE= $8,800

Investment in Con Edison= $42,000 – ($22,400 + $8,800)

                                                 = $10,800

Weight of Intel= $22,400/$42,000

                             = 0.5333*100= 53.33%

Weight of GE= $8,800/ $42,000

                         = 0.2095*100= 20.95%

Weight of Con Edison= $10,800/ $42,000

                                         = 0.2571*100= 25.71%

Portfolio beta= 0.5333*1.3 + 0.2095*1 + 0.2571*0.8

                          = 0.6933 + 0.2095 + 0.2057

                          = 1.1085   1.109.

Hence, the answer is option a.
