A stock has an expected return of 11.1 percent, its beta is .86, and the risk-free rate is 5.55 percent. What must the expected return on the market be?

12%

Explanation:

The computation of the expected return on the market is shown below:

As we know that

Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)

11.1% = 5.55% + 0.86 × (Market rate of return - 5.55%)

So, the market rate of return is

= (11.1% - 5.55%) ÷ 0.86 + 5.55%

= 12%

Also , The Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also known as the market risk premium
