    Expected return of portfolio = 12.3%

    Beta of portfolio = 1.28

    Explanation:

    investment value in alpha = 100*10 = $1000

    Total value of portfolio = 9000 + 1000 = $10000

    The expected return and beta would be the weighted average.

    Expected return of portfolio = 9000/10000 * 12% + 1000/10000 * 15%

    Expected return of portfolio = 12.3%

    Beta of portfolio = 9000/10000 * 1.20 + 1000/10000 * 2

    Beta of portfolio = 1.28
