Round your answer to two decimal places. %

Answer 1

6.7%

12.7%

7.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Required rate of return = risk free rate + ( stock beta × Markert premium)

When beta = 0.8

The required rate of return = 3.5% + (4% × 0.8) = 6.7%

When beta = 2.3

The required rate of return = 3.5% + (4% × 2.3) = 12.7%

The required rate of return on the market:

3.5% + (4%×1) = 7.5%
