    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)

    = 4% + 1.34 * 6.5%

    = 4% + 8.71%

    = 12.71%

    The (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also called market risk premium and the same is used in the computation part. We ignored the bets of Delta
