E(Ri) = Rf + [ E(Rm) - Rf ] × βi

E(Ri) = 2.5 + [ 7.5 - 2.5 ] × 1.25

Expected return on the capital asset (E(Ri): 8.75%

Risk Free Rate of Return = (1+ Government Bond Rate)(1+Inflation Rate)

Risk Free Rate of Return = (1 + 3.25)(1 + 0.9)

Risk Free Rate of Return = 4.251.9

Risk Free Rate of Return = 2.237%

How to calculate CAPM :

Where,

E(Ri) - the expected return on the capital asset

Rf - the risk-free rate

E(Rm) - the expected return of the market

βi - the beta of the security i
