    Explanation:

    First we will determine the market risk premium which shall be calculated as follows:

    Market risk premium=Expected annual return of market-Risk free return

    In the given question

    Expected annual return of market=13%

    Risk free return=Return on T-Bonds=6.5%

    Market risk premium=13%-6.5%=6.5%

    Based on above Market risk premium, the firm required return shall be calculated as follows:

    Firm required return=Risk free return+Beta*Market risk premium

    =6.5%+1.30*6.5%

    =14.95%
