@knaivete,

You need to calculate the expected return on the asset to answer most of your questions. You can do this by using the CAPM equation. If I use a CAPM calculator like this one Edit [Moderator]: Link removed by AssetBrief, I get a 10% expected return on FAB.

You can use the 10% expected return to get the fair price of FAB shares.

For c) the answer is 10%

The CAPM alpha is the asset risk premium which is the expected return on asset less the risk free rate. This is 6%.
