    I got asset beta 2.041
    But I can get 27.4% from 7% +(2.04×10%). Isn’t it 7.204%?

    No it isn’t!!

    2.04 x 10% = 20.4%

    7% + 20.4% = 27.4%.

    (or, if you prefer, 7% is the same as 0.07. 10% is the same as 0.10.
    So, 0.07 + (2.04 x 0.10) = 0.07 + 0.204 = 0.274, which is the same as 27.4%)

    🙂

    Did you watch my free lectures on this before attempting the test?

    yes, I watched them, you wrote (18-10)*1.7 or whatever beta was. But if you put 10%x2 into calculator, you wouldn’t get 20, would you? You would get 0.2.

    I will use the second way, where % are in decimal fractions to avoid silly mistakes (or at least some of them!).

    thank you very much for your help.

    But the 18 and the 10 were both %’s, and if you put %’s in the formula then the answer will also be a % 🙂
