Answer:
The stock's new expected rate of return is 14%
Explanation:
Ke=Rf+beta(Mrp-Rf)
Ke is the cost of capital is 10.20%
Rf i the risk free rate which is unknown
beta is 1.00
(Mrp-Rf) is the market risk premium at 6%
10.20%=Rf+1.0(6%)
10.20%=Rf+6.0%
Rf=10.20-6.00%
Rf=4.20%
Beta for the risky asset is 1.00*130%=1.3
New risk rate is the old rate plus inflation rate of 2.00%
new risk free=4.2%+2%=6.2%
The expected return on the new asset is computed thus:
Ke=6.2%+1.3(6%)
Ke=6.2%+7.8%
Ke=14%

This is merely his/her opinion, and is not a proven fact. Thus, when the speaker bases another argument on that assumption, he has used a fallacy in reasoning.</span>
