To calculate the weight of Ball Corporation in the portfolio, we need to first calculate the total value of the portfolio. 
Total value = (200 x $50) + (200 x $30) + (100 x $40) = $10,000 + $6,000 + $4,000 = $20,000

Now, we need to calculate the value of Ball Corporation in the portfolio. 
Value of Ball Corporation = 100 x $40 = $4,000

The weight of Ball Corporation in the portfolio can be calculated as: 
= (Value of Ball Corporation / Total value) x 100 
= ($4,000 / $20,000) x 100 
= 20%

So, the best choice is option C, which correctly identifies the weight of Ball Corporation in the portfolio as 20%.
