Answer:

-4.50%

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that

Expected Rate of Return = Risk Free Rate of Return + Beta × Market Risk Premium

where,

Market Risk Premium is

= Expected Return on Market Portfolio - Risk Free Rate

= 13% - 6%

= 7%

So, the expected rate of return is

= 6% + 1.50 × 7%

= 16.50%

And the expected return on SDA Corp. common stock is 12%

So, the SDA Corp stock alpha is -4.50%

which come from

= 12% - 16.50%

This is the answer and the options that are mentioned are wrong.
