The correct answer is 8.24%

Explanation:

To start with, nominal rate return can be computed using the below formula:

nominal rate of return =real rate of return+inflation premium+interest rate risk premium+liquidity premium+taxability premium

real rate of return is 3.4%

inflation premium is 2.8%

interest rate risk premium is 0.27%,

liquidity premium is 0.08%

taxability premium is 1.69%

nominal rate of return =3.4%+2.8%+0.27%+0.08%+1.69%

                                     =8.24%
