Respuesta :

Answer:

Expected rate of return on stock= 10.99%

Explanation:

The expected rate of return E(r) can be determined using the capital assets pricing model (CAPM)

The CAPM is expressed below:

Under CAPM,

E(r)= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)

Rf-risk-free rate (treasury bill rate), β= Beta, Rm= Return on market.

Using this model,

Rf- 3.87%, β- 1.38, Rm- 9.03%

Ke= 3.87% + 1.38×(9.03-3.87)%

   = 10.9908

Expected rate of return on stock= 10.99%
