    10.5%

    Explanation:

    In this question, we use the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). The formula is shown below:

    Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta * market risk premium

    = 4% + 1.3 * 5%

    = 4% + 6.5%

    = 10.5%

    The market risk premium = Market rate of return - risk free rate of return.

    The dividend and per share is not relevant for the computation part. Hence, ignored it
