    1.35

    Explanation:

    For determining the beta first we have to compute the correlation which is shown below:

    = Market standard deviation : common stock standard deviation * covariance

    = 16.4% : 12.7% * 0.217

    = 1.04187

    Now the beta of the stock is

    = correlation * Market standard deviation : common stock standard deviation

    = 1.04187 * 16.4% : 12.7%

    = 1.35

    We simply applied the above formulas
