Answer:

1.1675

Explanation:

The computation of the portfolio beta is shown below:

= Stock Amerigas portfolio percentage × stock Amerigas  beta + Stock Atlantic Industries portfolio percentage × stock Atlantic Industries beta  + Stock TGIS Restaurants portfolio percentage × stock TGIS Restaurants beta

= 0.10 × 0.75 + 0.55 × 1 + 0.35 × 1.55

= 0.075 + 0.55 + 0.5425

= 1.1675

We simply multiplied the portfolio percentage with its beta
