An analyst uses a three-factor arbitrage pricing theory (APT) model to evaluate the expected return of stock BBZ. There are three ETFs available to the analyst, each of which represents a single factor. Each ETF has a factor beta of 1 to that factor and a factor beta of 0 to all other factors. The analyst prepares the following information:
| Factor P | Factor Q | Factor R | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected annual return of ETF factor | 5.4% | 6.8% | 3% |
| Factor beta for stock BBZ | 0.95 | -0.40 | 1.20 |
If the annualized risk-free interest rate is 2.10% and stock BBZ has an alpha of 0.50%, what is the expected annual return on stock BBZ using the internal model?
