Answer:

Market risk premium = 9.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

The market risk premium is the difference between the market returns and the t bill yield. To calculate the market risk premium of this duration we will need to subtract the average annual t bill yield from the average annual return on the standard and poor's 500 index.

14.8-5.6=9.2
