Given the risk of the stock, your required rate of return is 12%. For what price would you need to sell your stock in one year in order to earn your required rate of return? O $57.92 O $54.80 O $55.84 O $57.40 $56.88
The stock price today = $52
To earn 12% return, the amount earned should be = 12% of 52
