    Explanation:

    The computation of the alpha of the stock is shown below:

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

    0.10 = 0.05 + 1.1 * (0.08 - 0.05) + Alpha

    0.10 = 0.05 + 1.1 * 0.03 + Alpha

    0.10 = 0.05 + 0.033 + Alpha

    0.10 = 0.083 + Alpha

    So, alpha would be

    = 0.10 - 0.083

    = 0.017 or 1.7%
