3.612%

Explanation:

The computation of portfolio return is shown below:-

Portfolio return = (Return of Y * Weight of Y) + (Return of R * Weight of R)

+ (Return of C * Weight of C)

= (4.40% * 40%) + (4.93% * 40%) + (-0.60% * 40%)

= 1.76% + 1.972% - 0.12%

= 3.612%

Therefore for computing the portfolio return we simply applied the above formula.
