Dear student thankyou for using homeworklib.
Please find the answer below.
Statement showing computation:
Expected return= Risk free rate+beta*(market return-risk free rate)
15= 3+beta*(9-3)
12= beta*6
Beta= 12/6= 2
So correct answer is 2.0

Stock A's stock has a beta of 1.5, and its required return is 12.00%. Stock B's beta is 0.80. If the risk-free rate is 4.75%, what is the required rate of return on B's stock? (Hint: First find the market risk premium using information about stock A.) A. 7.97% O B. 8.62% ○ C. 8.98% ○ D, 9.21% O E. 9.58%
Stock A has a beta of 0.5, and investors expect it to return 5%. Stock B has a beta of 1.5, and investors expect it to return 9%. Use the CAPM to calculate the market risk premium and the expected rate of return on the market. (Enter your answers as a whole percent.) a.Market Risk Premium = b.Expected Rate of Return =
