Answer:

c. 8.40%

Explanation:

Use CAPM formula to solve this question;

CAPM r = risk free + beta(Market risk premium)

expected return ;r = 12.50% or 0.125 as a decimal

0.125 = 0.02 + 1.25 (MRP)

subtract 0.02 from both sides;

0.125 - 0.02 = 1.25MRP

0.105 = 1.25MRP

Divide both sides by 1.25 to solve for MRP

0.105/1.25 = MRP

0.084 = MRP

Market risk premium (MRP) is therefore 8.40%
