Answer:

The right solution is "4.55%".

Explanation:

Given that,

Expected return,

= 10.1%

Risk-free rate,

= 3.5%

Beta,

= 1.45

Now,

The market risk premium will be:

⇒ [tex]Expected \ return=Risk-free \ rate+Beta\times (Market \ risk \ premium)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]Market \ risk \ premium=\frac{Expected \ return-Risk -free \ rate}{Beta}[/tex]

By putting the values, we get

⇒                                      [tex]=\frac{10.1-3.5}{1.45}[/tex]

⇒                                      [tex]=\frac{6.6}{1.45}[/tex]

⇒                                      [tex]=4.55[/tex] (%)
