Answer:
β of the stock = 1
Explanation:
Given:
α of a stock = 0%
Return on the market index = 16%
Risk-free rate of return = 5%
Required rate = 11% + 5% = 16%
β of the stock = ?
Computation of β of the stock:
Required rate = Risk-free rate of return + [β (Return on the market index - Risk-free rate of return)]
16% = 5% + [β (16% - 5%)]
16% - 5% = β (16% - 5%)
11% = [β (16% - 5%)
11% = [β (11%)
β of the stock = 1
