Respuesta :

Answer:

B. 10.25%

Explanation:

According to the given situation, the computation of return required using the CAPM is shown below:-

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

= 5% + (12% - 5%) × 0.75

= 5% + 6% × 0.75

= 10.25%

Therefore for computing the expected return we simply applied the above formula and the correct answer is B.
