Answer:

11.7%

Explanation:

The common stock of a shaky building has a beta of 22%

The market risk premium is 9.56%

The US treasury bill is 3.3 %

Therefore the cost of equity can be calculated as follows

= 3.3/100 + (1+22/100)(9.56)

= 0.033 + (1+0.22)(9.56)

= 0.033 + 1.22×9.56

= 0.033 + 11.6632

= 11.7%
