    B

    Explanation:

    Beta of a portfolio is given by adding the some of the beta of each stock multiplied by the weights

    Overall investment equals $50000+$50000=$100000

    which gives Wx=50000/100000=0.5

    Wy=50000/100000=0.5

    Bp=Wx*Bx) + (Wy*By)

    = (0.5*1.6) + (0.5*1.6)

    =1.6

    The expected return calculated by sum of weight multiplied by expected return

    Er = (0.5*15%) + (0.5*15%)

    =15%

    The portfolio has a beta equal to 1.6 and expected return equal to 15%
