Determine whether this portfolio have more or less systematic risk than an average asset.
Assume that the risk-free rate (i.e., Rf) is 2.8%. If, for a particular company bond issue, the default risk premium (i.e., DP) is 3.1%, the maturity risk premium ( i.e., MP) is 0.9%, and the market risk premium ( i.e., MRP) for that company's stock is 12.9% what is the required rate of return for the company's fixed income securities ? Record your answer as a percent , rounded to one decimal place , but do not include a percent sign in your answer . For example , enter 0.1578658 = 15.78625% as 15.8 .
