    The portfolio beta would simply be the summation of the weighted average of each beta.

    Where weighted average of each beta is calculated as:

    Stock weighted average = Stock proportion * Individual beta

    Therefore,

    Stock A beta weighted average = 0.2 * 0.4 = 0.08

    Stock B beta weighted average = 0.3 * 1.2 = 0.36

    Stock C beta weighted average = 0.25 * 2.5 = 0.625

    Stock D beta weighted average = 0.25 * 1.75 = 0.4375

    The summation of all betas yield the overall portfolio beta:

    Portfolio beta = 0.08 + 0.36 + 0.625 + 0.4375

    Portfolio beta = 1.5025 ~ 1.5
