Answer:  1.071

Explanation:

The portfolio beta is the weighted average of the constituent stock betas.

Intel Weight

= 20,800/46,000

= 0.45217

GE Weight

= 10,400/46,000

= 0.22609

Con Edison

= (46,000 - 20,800 - 10,400) / 46,000

= 0.32174

Portfolio Beta;

= (0.45217 * 1.3) + (0.22609 * 1) + (0.32174 * 0.8)

= 0.587821‬ + 0.22609 + 0.257392‬

= 1.071303‬

= 1.071
