If the risk-free rate is 2% and the MRP is 7%, according to CAPM, a stock that is three-quarters as risky as the market would have an expected return of 7.25% . I don't understand what I am doing with my math, I solved it as .02+.75 * .07. My answer was .0539 not 7.25%. Can you break down the math please?
