Suppose you have invested $ 50,000 in the following four stocks:

Stock A 10,000 0.7
Stock B 15,000 1.2
Stock C 12,000 1.4
Stock D 13,000 1.9
The risk-free rate is 5 percent and the expected return on the market portfolio is 18 percent.
Based on the capital-asset-pricing model, what is the expected return on the above portfolio?
