B. 1.55
C. 1.44
D. 1.66

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

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
