Answer:

Option (B) 5.5%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question :

Factor             Risk premium

Factor 1               5%

Factor 2              3%

Beta of stock A on factor 1 = 1.4

Beta of stock A on factor 2 = 0.5

Expected return = 14%

Now,

Expected return

= Risk free rate + (Beta of factor 1 × Risk premium of factor 1) + (Beta of factor 2 × Risk premium of factor 2)

or

14% = Risk free rate + (1.4 × 5%) + (0.5 × 3%)

or

14% = Risk free rate + ( 7% + 1.5% )

or

Risk free rate = 5.5%

Hence,

Option (B) 5.5%
