Answer:

The calculations are shown below:

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculations are shown below:

a. The expected rate of return is

Return = Risk free return + Beta × (Market return - risk free return)

= 5% + 1.9 × (11.20% - 5%)

= 5% + 11.78%

= 16.78%

b. Now the alpha is

Alpha = Actual rate of return - Expected rate of return

= 9.2% - 16.78%

= - 7.58%

c. No , the CAPM is not valid as the expected rate of return is more than the actual rate of return
