D) Beta. 98 expected return. 107

Explanation:

In CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model), expected return = risk-free rate + Beta * market risk premium = 3.4% + Beta * 7.4%

We try every choice consecutively

A) Beta. 87 expected return. 096

⇒ expected return = 3.4% + 0.87 * 7.4% = 0.098

A is wrong

B) Beta 1.09 expected return. 102

⇒ expected return = 3.4% + 1.09 * 7.4% = 0.1147

B is wrong

C) Beta 1.62 expected return. 146

⇒ expected return = 3.4% + 1.62 * 7.4% = 0.154

C is wrong

D) Beta. 98 expected return. 107

⇒ expected return = 3.4% + 0.98 * 7.4% = 0.107

D is TRUE

E) Beta 1.16 expected return. 139

⇒ expected return = 3.4% + 1.16 * 7.4% = 0.12

E is wrong
