A certain stock has a beta of 1.45. If the risk-free rate of return is 5 percent and the market risk premium is 8.5 percent, what is the expected return of the stock

Expected rate of return is 17.3%

Explanation:

Capital asset pricing model is used to calculate the expected rate of return for an investment on basis of its risk, market risk premium and risk free rate. The formula for the expected rate of return is:

Expected rate of return = Risk free rate + beta ( market risk premium )

Expected rate of return = 5% + 1.45 ( 8.5% )

Expected rate of return = 5% + 12.325%

Expected rate of return = 17.325%
