If the expected rate of return on AZNG is 12.72, its beta is 1.09 and the market risk premium is 8%, what is the risk−free rate?
A. 5.42%
B. 4.72%
C. 8.72%
D. 4.0%
As Per CAPM,
where, rf = Risk free return
Rmp = Market Risk Premium= 8%
Beta = 1.09
Required rate of return or Expected Return = 12.72%
12.72% = Rf + 1.09(8%)
12.72% = Rf + 8.72%
Rf = 4%
So, the risk−free rate is 4%
