A stock has a required return of 16%, the risk-free rate is 5.5%, and the market risk premium is 4%. a) What is the stock's beta?  b) If the market risk premium increased to 8%, what would happen to the stock's required rate of return? Assume that the risk-free rate and the beta remain unchanged. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
