Suppose you are the money manager of a $5.3 million investment fund. The fund consists of four stocks with the following investments and betas:               

Stock	Investment	Beta
A	$   340,000	1.50
B	760,000	(0.50)
C	1,300,000	1.25
D	2,900,000	0.75

 

If the market's required rate of return is 8% and the risk-free rate is 5%, what is the fund's required rate of return? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
