Sagot :

Answer:

9.00%

Explanation:

In  a bid to determine the market return, we make use of the formula for average return  provided below whereby the formula is rearranged in order to market return the subject of the formula as shown thus:

Average return = Alpha + rf + β * (rm - rf)

Average return=12%

Alpha=0.6%

rf=risk-free rate=3%

β=Beta=1.4

rm=market return=the unknown

12%=0.6%+3%+1.4*(rm-3%)

12%=0.6%+3%+1.4rm-4.20%

12%=3.6%+1.4rm-4.20%

12%-3.6%+4.20%=1.4rm

12.60%=1.4rm

rm=12.60%/1.4

rm=9.00%
