Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Expected rate of return = Riskfree rate + Investment risk premium

Nominal riskfree rate = ( 1 + real riskfree rate) x ( 1 + rate of inflation ) - 1

Nominal riskfree rate = ( 1 + 0.03) x ( 1 + 0.03 ) - 1 = 0.0609 = 6.09%

Expected rate of return = 6.00% + 11.5% = 17.5%

hubris projections premium = Target rate of return - Expected rate of return - Liquidity premium - Advisory premium

hubris projections premium = 50% - 17.5% - 5.5% - 9% = 18%
