Sagot :

Answer:

1.35

Explanation:

Systemic risk is measured by beta. The higher beta is, the higher the systemic risk and the higher the compensation demanded for by investors

According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)

14.48 = 3.42 + b(11.6 - 3.42)

14.48 = 3.42 + b8.18

14.48 - 3.42 = 8.18b

11.06/8.18 = 1.35
