    14.6 percent

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question

    The average return of large-company stock = 12.14 percent

    The average risk-free rate of return = 2.49 percent

    The average return of small-company stock = 17.09 percent

    By considering the above information, the risk premium is

    = Average return of small-company stock - Average risk-free rate of return

    = 17.09 percent - 2.49 percent

    = 14.6 percent

    This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options

    We simply deduct the risk-free rate of return from the market return so that the risk premium could come
