Answer: 1.09

Explanation:

The variables given are consistent with the use of the Capital Asset Pricing Model to find out the value of the expected return for the stock. The formula is;

Expected Return = Risk free rate + beta ( Market return - risk-free rate)

9.5% = 3.5% + beta ( 9% - 3.5%)

6% = beta * 5.5%

beta = 6%/5.5%

beta = 1.09
