Answer:
Required rate of return on clover's stock is 8.99%
Explanation:
The required rate of return on Clover's stock can be computed using Miller and Modgliani capital asset pricing model formula given below:
Ke=Rf+beta*(Rm-Rf)
Ke is the required rate of return, the unknown
Rf is the risk free rate of return of 4.00%
beta for Clover is 0.80
Rm is the not known as well but can computed using the Parr paper's details below:
beta is 1.442
required return IS 13%
13.00%=4.00%+1.442*(Rm-4.00%)
13%-4%=1.442*(Rm-4.00%)
9%=1.442*(Rm-4.00%)
9%/1.442=Rm-4%
6.24% =Rm-4%
Rm=6.24%+4%
Rm=10.24%
Now the required return on Clover's stock can be computed
Ke=4%+0.8*(10.24%-4%)
Ke=8.99%
