Answer #1

Let investment in D=$x

Hence investment in E=(185,000-x)

Portfolio beta=Respective beta*Respective investment weight

1=(x/185,000*0.91)+(185,000-x)/185,000*1.33[Beta of market=1;Beta of risk-free assets=0]

(1*185000)=0.91x+246050-1.33x

185,000=0.91x+246050-1.33x

x=(246050-185,000)/(1.33-0.91)

=$145,357.14=investment in D(Approx).
