Answer: 1.66

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the beta of the stock will be calculated as follows:

Expected return = 16.2%

Market return = 11.2%

Inflation rate = 3.1%

Risk-free rate of return = 3.6%

We should note that:

Expected return = risk-free rate + Beta × (market rate- risk-free rate)

Therefore,

16.2% = 3.6% + Beta × (11.2% - 3.6%)

16.2% = 3.6% + Beta × 7.6%

16.2% - 3.6% = Beta × 7.6%

12.6% = Beta × 7.6%

Beta = 12.6% / 7.6%

Beta = 1.66

Year 1 = $1,500

Year 2 = $1,500

Year 3 = $1,500

Payback period is the time it will take to break even the intial investment (In this question the initial investment is $2,500)

The sum of the cashflows of year1 and year2 is equal to $3,000

which means that the payback period is somewhere bbetween year 1 and year2

1500/3000 = 0.5 year or 6 months

the total payback period is 1 year and 6 months
