Answer:
Required rate of return for the project = 9.7%
Explanation:
The risk-adjusted discount factor = cost of equity + the adjustment
Cost of equity can be calculated using the capital asset pricing model CAPM
Using the CAPM , the rate of return on equity can be determined as follows:
E(r)= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)
E(r) =? , Rf- 3.3%, Rm- 7.5%, β- 0.94
Cost of equity = Rf + β (Rm -Rf)
Cost of equity = 3.3% + 0.94×(7.5-3.3)= 7.248
The risk-adjusted discount factor= 7.248 + 2.5= 9.748
Required rate of return for the project = 9.7%
