c. 11.05%

Explanation:

The computation of firm's required return is shown below:-

First we need to find out the Market Risk Premium for computing the firm's required return.

Using CAPM, we calculate Market Risk Premium

Expected Future Market Rate of Return = Risk Free Rate on T-Bond + Beta of the Market × Market Risk Premium

10% = 6.5% + 1 × Market Risk Premium

Market Risk Premium = (10% - 6.5%) ÷ 1

= 3.5%

Required Rate of Return = Risk Free Rate + Beta of the Stock × Market Risk Premium

= 6.5% + (1 + 3.00%) × 3.5%

= 6.5% + 1.30 × 3.5%

= 11.05%
