ER (P) = Rf + β (Rm - Rf)

11.75 = 4.30 + 1.23 (Rm - Rf)

11.75 - 4.30 = 1.23Rm - 5.289

7.45 + 5.289 = 1.23Rm

12.739 = 1.23Rm

Rm = 12.739/1.23

Rm = 10.36%

Explanation: The expected return of a stock is a function of risk-free rate plus market risk premium. Market risk premium is equal to beta multiplied by risk premium. Risk premium is market return minus risk free rate.
