Answer:

20.43%

Explanation:

Given;

Beta of stock A = 1.7

Beta of the stock B = 0.8

Expected return on stock B = 12%

Risk free rate of stock A = Risk free rate of Stock B = 4.5%   (Since same reward-to-risk ratio)

Now,

The expected return of stock B

= Risk free rate + (Beta × Market Risk premium)

on substituting the respective values, we get

12% = 4.5% + (0.8 × Market Risk premium )

or

Market Risk premium = 9.375%

Also,

The expected return of stock A

= 4.5% + (1.7 × 9.375)

or

= 20.43%

Simultaneously, the students are ready to party in the new quarter which indicates that the demand for beer increases. This will shift the demand curve for beer rightwards.

As a result of these shift in the demand curve and in the supply curve of beer, the equilibrium quantity of beer increases and the effect on equilibrium price of beer is ambiguous because that will be dependent upon the magnitude of the shift in the demand and supply curve.
