As a financial analyst, you are tasked with evaluating a capital budgeting project. You
were instructed to use the IRR method and you need to determine an appropriate hurdle
rate. The risk-free rate is 4% and the expected market rate of return is 11%. Your company
has a beta of 1.4 and the project that you are evaluating is considered to have risk equal to
the average project that the company has accepted in the past. According to CAPM, the
appropriate hurdle rate would be
