    3.6%

    Explanation:

    The computation of the alpha for the informed investors is shown below:

    As we know that

    Expected rate of k = Risk free rate of return + Beta * (Market rate of return - Risk free rate of return) + Alpha

    16% = 4% + 1.4 * (10% - 4%) + Alpha

    16% = 4% + 8.4% + Alpha

    16% = 12.4% + Alpha

    So,

    Alpha = 3.6%

    We simply applied the above formula to determine the alpha
