Answer:

Weight of stock A = 60.33%

Weight of stock B= 39.66%

Explanation:

Stock A has 134 shares that is sold at $44

Stock B has 114 shares that is sold at $34

The total market value of stock A can be calculated as follows

= 134×44

= 5,896

The total market value of stock B can be calculated as follows

= 114×34

= 3,876

Total value of both stocks = 5,896+3,876

= 9,772

Therefore the weights of the portfolio can be calculated as follows

Weight of stock A = 5896/9772

= 0.603×100

= 60.33%

Weight of stock B

= 3876/9772

= 0.3966×100

= 39.66%
