a. Find the required return for an asset with a beta of 1.65 when the risk-free rate and market return are 8% and 14%, respectively.
b. Find the risk-free rate for a firm with a required return of 11.366% and a beta of 1.29 when the market return is 10%.
c. Find the market return for an asset with a required return of 7.711% and a beta of 0.89 when the risk-free rate is 4%.
d. Find the beta for an asset with a required return of 6.552% when the risk-free rate and market return are 6% and 8.4%, respectively.
