Explanation / Answer

Mulherin's stock has a beta of 1.50, its required return is 8.75%, and the risk-free rate is 4.30%. What is the required rate of return on the market? (Hint: First find the market risk premium.)

Beta                                                          1.50

Risk-free rate                                        4.30%

Required return on stock               8.75%, %

RPM = (rstock ? rRF)/beta                         3.31%

Required return on market = rRF + RPM =      7.61%
