Answer:

r = 0.139 or 13.9%

Option e is the correct answer

Explanation:

Using the CAPM, we can calculate the required/expected rate of return on a stock. This is the minimum return required by the investors to invest in a stock based on its systematic risk, the market's risk premium and the risk free rate.  

The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

  • rRF is the risk free rate
  • rM is the market return

r = 0.04 + 0.9 * (0.15 - 0.04)

r = 0.139 or 13.9%
