The markets premium is 8% and the risk free rate 3%.According to the formula,it should be 3% +1.3(8% -3%)Why the answer ignore the second risk free rate. Thanks March 7, 2016 at 6:42 pm #304181 John MoffatKeymasterTopics: 57Replies: 54754☆☆☆☆☆The question gives the market premium. This is the excess of the market return over the risk free rate. (So the market return is really 11%) March 7, 2016 at 8:04 pm #304223 josy87MemberTopics: 172Replies: 215☆☆☆Ok. Thanks.
