How did we come up with the RPm of 0.105? also why did we divide 0.105 by beta instead of multiplying in this case?

Port Inc.'s stock has a required return of 12.5%, a beta of 1.25, and is in equilibrium. If the risk-free rate is 2%, what is the market risk premium?

= + ( )

( )= market risk premium, a.k.a.RPm

0.125 = 0.02 + (RPm)*1.25

0.105 = (RPm)*1.25

0.105= RPm

1.25

0.084 = RPm
