Answer:

1.17%

Explanation:

Expected return is 15.1 %

Risk free rate is 5.95 %

Market risk premium is 7.8%

Therefore the beta can be calculated as follows

Expected return= risk free rate + (beta×market risk premium)

15.1%= 5.95% + (beta × 7.8%)

15.1%-5.95%= 7.8% beta

9.15%= 7.8% beta

beta= 9.15%/7.8%

beta= 1.17%

belka [17]
To find Simon's maximum amount he can borrow against his home you will use the Home Loan Value Formula. 

Home is worth: $400,000
Remaining balance: $175,000
Borrow: up to 75% on home

First, you'll want to take the market value of $400,000 and multiply it by 75% (.75) which gives you $300,000.
Then, you'll need to subtract what Simon owes on the home to find the amount he can borrow. 
$300,000 - $175,000 = $125,000 
Simon can borrow $125,000 against his home.
