Answer:Beta of the bond = 0.63
Explanation:
According to the CAPM, Capital Asset pricing mode formulae, The expected return is given as
Expected return= Risk free rate + Beta ( Market premium)
where
Expected return = 10.5 percent
Market risk premium =10.0 percent
risk-free rate is 4.2 percent.
Expected return= Risk free rate + Beta ( Market premium)
Putting their values and solving, we have
10.5% = 4.2%+ Beta (10.0%)
10.5 %- 4.2%=Beta (10.0%)
Beta=10.5 %- 4.2%/10.0%
Beta=0.63.
Beta of the bond = 0.63
