Explanation:

In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below

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

For computing the price of the stock, first we have to compute the Expected rate of return which is shown below:

= 8% + 1.25 × (15% - 8%)

= 8% + 1.25 × 7%

= 8% + 8.75%

= 16.75%

Now the price would be

= Return on common stock - expected rate of return

= 16% - 16.75%

= -0.75%
