Suppose you hold a diversified portfolio consisting of a $7,500 investment in each of 20 different common stocks. The portfolio beta is equal to 1.12. Now, suppose you have decide to sell one of the stocks in your portfolio with a beta equal to 1.0 for 7,500 and to use these proceeds to buy another stocks for your portfolio.
