Capital-Asset-Pricing : Based on the capital-asset-pricing model, what is the expected return on the above portfolio?

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

Security               Amount Invested                         Beta
Stock A                    $10,000                                   0.7
Stock B                      15,000                                   1.2
Stock C                      12000                                    1.4
Stock D                      13000                                    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?
