Answer 1

Answer:

12.84

Explanation:

In this question, we use the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

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

= 1.5% + 1.80 × (7.8% - 1.5%)

= 1.5% + 1.80 × 6.3%

= 1.5% + 11.34%

= 12.84

Since the standard deviation is not relevant. Hence, ignored it
