You are considering an equity investment in Aloha Timeshare Corp. You read a market report on the stock written by a top analyst in the timeshare industry that put the stock's beta at 1.5. If long term U.S. Treasuries are currently yielding 5.00% and the expected return for the S&P 500 is 10.5%, what level of return would you require for investing in Aloha Corp's common stock?

Not sure where to start. It doesn't seem like a challenging question, but my brain just isn't working.

You are probably supposed to use CAPM

http://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/capm.asp

Required return = Risk Free Rate + Beta of the security * (Expected Market Return - Risk Free Rate)

You've got all that info right there in the problem ;)

Thanks! I'll see if I can figure it out from that.
