Computation of Return on the Market Portfolio (rM):

Required Rate of Return = Risk-free Rate + Beta*(Market Return - Risk-free Rate)

9% = 1.9% + 0.8*(x - 1.9%)

9% = 1.9% + 0.8x - 0.0152 

9% + 0.0152 - 1.9% = 0.8x

8.6% = 0.8x

x = 8.6% / 0.8 

x = 0.10775 or 10.775% or 10.8%

So, Return on the Market Portfolio (rM) is 10.8%.
