How to set-up this problem?

Refer to the following example for part i) 
Risk-free rate of return = 3% 
Market return (or market portfolio's rate of return) = 10% 
IBM stock's beta = 1.2 
Then, based on the CAPM (capital asset pricing model), IBM stock's required rate of return (or minimum acceptable return or fair rate of return) 
= risk-free return + beta*(market return minus risk-free return) = 3% + 1.2*(10% - 3%) = 11.4% 
Also, the market risk premium (or market portfolio's risk premium) = market return minus risk-free return = 10% - 3% = 7% 

HERE IS THE QUESTION

  1. i) suppose that a stock's beta is 0.7. If the risk-free rate of return is 4% and the market risk premium is 8%, what is the stock's required rate of return?
