Answer #1

As per CAPM. Expected Rate of return = Risk free rate + beta*market risk premium

10% = Risk free rate + 0.4*Market Risk premium ...................(1)

16% = Risk free rate + 1.6*Market Risk premium.................(2)

Subtracting (1) from (2)

6% = 1.2*Market risk premium

5% = Market risk premium

Risk free rate = 8%

Market beta = 1

Hence, expected market rate of return = 8%+1*5%

= 13%
