    a. 6.7%

    b. 0.6 and 0.4

    Explanation:

    The computations are shown below:

    a. Expected rate of return = (Probability 1 * Possible Returns 1) + (Probability 2 * Possible Returns 2)

    = (0.50 * 0.11) + (0.50 * 0.024)

    = 0.055 + 0.012

    = 6.7%

    b. Portfolio beta = beta of stock * weightage of stock + beta of risk free asset * weightage of risk free asset

    0.63 = 1.05 * weightage of stock + 0

    So, Weightage of stock = 0.6

    And, the weightage of risk free asset is 0.4
