------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We first need to find required rate of return of expected return using CAPM model.

Capital asset pricing is used to calculate required rate of return

Required rate of return = Risk free rate of return + Beta( Market return - Risk free return)

Where,

Risk free rate of return= 0.02

Beta= 1.5

Market return= 0.12

Let’s put all the values in the formula

Required rate of return = 0.02+1.5(0.12-0.02)

= 0.02 + 1.5(0.1)

= 0.02 + 0.15

= 0.17

So the required rate of return is 17%

The market is not in equilibrium.
