    The required rate of return on the risky projects is 17.40%

    Explanation:

    The required rate of return on average risky projects of Frank and Sons can be computed using the cost of equity formula below:

    Ke=Rf+beta * (Mr-Rf)

    Rf is the risk rate of return on government security which is 7%

    beta is the sensitivity of the project to market return is 1.3

    Mr is the market expected return which is 15%

    Ke=7%+1.3 * (15%-7%)

    Ke=7%+1.3*8%

    Ke=7%+10.4%

    Ke=17.40%

    The required rate of return on the risky projects is 17.40%
