Solution

The expected return of the portfolio is calculated by multiplying the expected return of each asset by its weight in the portfolio and then adding these values together.

For share Y: Expected return = 6% * 60% = 3.6%

For share Z: Expected return = 14% * 40% = 5.6%

Adding these together gives the expected return of the portfolio:

3.6% + 5.6% = 9.2%

So, the correct answer is b. 9.20%.
