Beta of portfolio is weighted average of the beta of constituents
Total portfolio size = $150,000 + $180,000 + $130,000 + $140,000 = $500,000
Weight of A = $150,000/$500,000 = 30%
Weight of B = $180,000/$500,000 = 36%
Weight of C = $130,000/$500,000 = 26%
Weight of D = $140,000/$500,000 = 28%
Beta of portfolio = Beta1 * Weight1 + Beta2 * Weight2 +..... + Beta n * Weight n
Beta of portfolio = 30% * 1.2 + 36% * 0.7 + 26% * 0.5 + 28% * 1.4
Beta of portfolio = 0.36 + 0.252 + 0.13 + 0.392
Beta of portfolio = 1.13
