a). Computation of the expected return:-

Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta * (Expected market return - Risk free rate)

= 5% + 0.2 * (12% - 5%)

= 5% + (0.2 * 7%)

= 5% + 1.4%

= 6.40%

 

b). Computation of the expected return:-

Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta * (Expected market return - Risk free rate)

= 5% + 0.5 * (12% - 5%)

= 5% + (0.5 * 7%)

= 5% + 3.5%

= 8.50%

 

c). Computation of the expected return:-

Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta * (Expected market return - Risk free rate)

= 5% + 1.4 * (12% - 5%)

= 5% + (1.4 * 7%)

= 5% + 9.8%

= 14.80%
