The investor invests $100 total. The Weighted Average formula states that the expected return would be equal to (percent invested in X) (expected return of X) + (percent invested in Y)(expected return of Y) + (percent invested in Z)(expected return of Z). Hence, the expected return would be: (40 %)(10 %) + (40%)(8%) + (20%) (15%) = (4%) + (3-2%) + (3%) = 10.2%.
A=10.2%
B=10.5%
B is greater
