Capital formation improves the conditions and methods for the production of a country. Hence, there is much increase in national income and per capital income. This leads to increase in quantity of production which leads to again rise in national income. The World Bank tracks gross capital formation, which it defines as outlays on additions to fixed assets, plus the net change in inventories. Fixed assets include plant, machinery, equipment, and buildings, all used to create goods and services. Inventory includes raw materials and goods available for sale.Oct

Answer: 1.9%
Explanation:
First derive the Market return as this is needed in the Capital Asset Pricing Model by using the same model:
Required return = Risk free rate + Beta * ( market return - Risk free rate)
Using stock Y:
12.4% = Risk free rate + 1 * (market return - Risk free rate)
12.4% = Rf + market return - Rf
Market return = 12.4%
Use this to calculate the Risk free rate:
Stock Z:
8.2% = Rf + 0.6 * (12.4% - Rf)
8.2% = Rf + 7.44% - 0.6Rf
Rf - 0.6Rf = 8.2% - 7.44%
0.4Rf = 0.76%
Rf = 0.76% / 0.4
= 1.9%
