Answer:

The required rate of return on this equity is 16.15 percent

Explanation:

Using the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) the required rate of return on an asset can be calculated. The equation for the required rate of return under this model is,

r = rRF + β * (rpM)

Where,

  • rRF is the riskfree or tbill rate
  • β is the stock's beta
  • rpM is the market risk premium

Thus for Hoogle, the required rate of return is:

r = 2.5% + 1.95 * 7%  = 16.15
