    Revised Expected Rate of Return is 9.6%

    Explanation:

    The change in market return will have implications on the expected rate of return which can be calculated using the CAPM formula for the change in the market return:

    Change in Expected return = Beta * (Change in Market Return)

    Change in Expected return = 1.2 * (8% - 10%) = (2.4%)

    The Expected rate of return would be decreased by 2.4% and now the revised expected rate of return is:

    Revised Expected Rate of Return = 12% - 2.4% = 9.6%
