Answer:
Risk free rate = 5%
Market return is 13%
Beta = 1.2
As per Capital asset pricing model(CAPM)
Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta * (Market return – Risk free rate)
= 5% + 1.2 * (13% – 5%)
= 5% + 1.2 * 8%
= 5% + 9.6
= 14.6%
Expected return as per CAPM is 14.6% and particular asset expected return is 10%
Therefore The asset lies below the security market line.
