Answer:

The firm set as the required rate of return for the project is 14.732%

Explanation:

For computing the required rate of return, the following formula should be used which is shown below:

= Risk free rate of return + (Beta × market risk premium) + adjustment

where,

Risk free rate of return is 4.1%

Beta is 1.19

Market risk premium is 7.8%

Adjustment is 1.35%

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value wold be equal to

= 4.1% + (1.19 × 7.8%)+ 1.35%

= 4.1% + 9.28% + 1.35%

= 14.732%

The standard deviation is irrelevant. Therefore, it is not considered in the computation part.

Hence, the firm set as the required rate of return for the project is 14.732%
