Question

If the market risk premium increased to 6%, what would happen to the stock's required rate of return

Answer 1

13%

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the situation the solution of required rate of return first we need to find out the beta which is shown below:-

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

11% = 7% + Beta × 6%

Beta = 1

now If the market risk premium increased to 6% so,

The required rate of return = 7% + 1 × 6%

= 13%

Therefore for computing the required rate of return we simply applied the above formula.
