Explanation

Using the stated regression parameters, the regression equation is:

Expected Monthly Return = β₀ + β(Interest rates)

Where:

  • β₀ = 0.064 (intercept)
  • β = 0.65 (slope coefficient)
  • Interest rate = 5% = 0.05

So, when the interest rate is 5%, the corresponding expected return is:

Expected Monthly Return = 0.064 + 0.05 × 0.65

= 0.064 + 0.0325

= 0.0965 = 9.65%

Therefore, the correct answer is A. 0.0965.
