    (a) 13,3%

    (b) 18,1%

    Explanation:

    To calculate the required rate of return for an assets it's necessary to use the CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) model which considers these variables to estimate the required return of an assets, the model states the next:

    ER = Rf + Bix (ERm - Rf)

    ER : Expected Return of Investment

    Rf : Risk-Free Rate

    Bi : Beta of the Investment

    ERm : Expected Return of the Market

    (Erm-Rf) : Market Risk Premium

    It tries to explain the relationship between the systematic risk ((Erm-Rf Market Risk Premium) of the market and the expected returns for assets.
