Answer #1

Return on Stock =Risk free rate+ [Beta * (Market return -risk free rate ) ]

10.2 = Risk free rate + [.91 * (10.8- Risk free rate)]

10.2 =Risk free rate + 9.828 - .91 Risk free rate

10.2 -9.828 = Risk free rate - .91 Risk free rate

.372 = .09 Risk free rate

Risk free rate = .372 /.09

             = 4.13333%   (rounded to 4.13%)
