    The beta of the stock must be = 1.315 (approx).

    Explanation:

    Considering the following formula, we get:

    expected return = 16

    Risk free rate = 6.4

    Market risk premium = 7.3

    expected return=risk-free rate+beta * market risk premium

    hence

    16 = 6.4 + beta * 7.3

    hence beta = (16 - 6.4) / 7.3 = 1.315 (approx).
