Explanation:
According to the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), the expected return of a security is calculated as:
E(R) = Rf + β × (Rm - Rf)
Where:
The correlation coefficient (0.5) is not needed for the CAPM calculation, as beta already incorporates both the correlation and the relative volatility.
Calculation: E(R) = 2% + 1.5 × 8% E(R) = 2% + 12% E(R) = 14%
