    Explanation:

    In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

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

    = 6% - 0.2 * (16% - 6%)

    = 6% - 0.2 * 10%

    = 6% - 2%

    = 4%

    The (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also known as market risk premium
