Question $12(1$ point$)$

Assume that there is a $39\%$ chance that the market return next year will be $9\mathrm{.}50\%.$ The market can also return $-12\mathrm{.}00\%$ or $10\mathrm{.}50\%,$ both of which are equally likely $($i$.$e$.,$ the probability of either outcome is $[1-39\%]/2).$ Assume the risk$-$free rate is $7\mathrm{.}00\%.$ If a firm's beta is $1\mathrm{.}66,$ what is its expected return on equity next year?

Instructions: Round the result to two decimal places and do not put the $"\%"$ symbol in the answer box. For example if you get a result of $3\mathrm{.}0492\%$ then write $3\mathrm{.}05$ in the answer box below.
