A portfolio manager is constructing a portfolio composed of two assets. Asset A is a risky asset with an expected return of 14% and a standard deviation of 22% whereas asset B is a risk-free asset with a return of 9%. If the portfolio manager increases the weight of the risky asset to 130%, then the portfolio’s expected return is closest to:
- A. 18.2%
- B. 15.5%
