    Check the explanation

    Explanation:

    Expected return = risk free rate+M1 beta*M1 risk premium+M2 beta*M2 risk premium

    37=5+1.6*M1 risk premium + 2.5*M2 risk premium

    26=1.6*M1 risk premium + 2.5*M2 risk premium ... (1)

    12=5+2.4*M1 risk premium + - 0.7*M2 risk premium

    7=2.4*M1 risk premium + - 0.7*M2 risk premium ... (2)

    Solving (1) & (2) simultaneously we get

    M1 risk premium=5.01

    M2 risk premium=7.18

    Expected return Beta relationship is:

    E{r}=5% + Beta M1*5.01 + Beta M2*7.18
