    The portfolio's beta is 1.4

    Explanation:

    The portfolio beta is the weighted average of the individual betas of the stocks that form up the portfolio. For a two stock portfolio, the formula for portfolio beta can be written as:

    Portfolio beta = wA * βa + wB * βb

    Where,

    w represents the weightage of investments in stocks β represents the betas

    Investment in Potts = 250000

    Investment in Stohs = 500000 - 250000 = 250000

    The portfolio beta = (250000/500000) * 2 + (250000/500000) * 0.8

    Portfolio beta = 1.4
