Assuming the CAPM is valid, what is the cost of capital for a company if the company's capital has a beta of 1.2, the risk-free rate of return is 2%, the expected return in the market is 9 %, and the company's return on debt is 7%?
cost of capital using CAPM = risk free rate + beta*( market return - risk free rate)
=>2%+1.2*(9%-2%)
=>10.4%.
