    The portfolio beta is 2.1194.

    Explanation:

    The portfolio beta is the measure of portfolio's systematic risk. The portfolio beta is the weighted average of the individual stock betas that form up the portfolio. The formula for portfolio beta is,

    Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N

    Where,

    w is the weightage of stocks in portfolio

    Total investment in portfolio = 16416 + 13824 + 12960 = $43200

    Portfolio beta = 16416 / 43200 * 3.51 + 13824 / 43200 * 1.63 + 12960 / 43200 * 0.88

    Portfolio beta = 2.1194
