    9.5%

    Explanation:

    Nominal interest rate = inflation + real rate

    = 2% + 3.5%

    = 5.5%

    Required rate of return for Food Inc:

    = Risk free rate + Beta * (Market return - Risk free rate)

    = 5.5% + 2.00 * (7.5% - 5.5%)

    = 5.5% + 4%

    = 9.5%

    Therefore, the required rate of return for Food Inc. is 9.5%.
