An investor purchases a stock with a beta of 1.25. Over the course of the previous year, the market had returns of 6%, while the stock had returns of 10%. Assuming the market has a beta of 1.0, what is the alpha of the stock?

Alpha of the stock= 0.10 - 0.075

Alpha of the stock= 0.025 *100

Alpha of the stock=2.5%

Therefore the alpha of the stock will be 2.5%
