Let the beta of Stock 1 is X
Beta of stock 2 is X+0.67
Also let the Risk Premium be Y
Expected Return of Stock 1 = Rf + beta (Risk Premium)
16.32% = Rf + X (Risk Premium) _ _ _ (1)
Expected Return of Stock 2 = Rf + beta (Risk Premium)
10.68% = Rf + (X+0.67) * (Risk Premium)
10.68% = Rf + (X*Risk Premium +0.67* Risk Premium) _ _ _ (2)
subtracting equation (2) form equation (1)
5.64% = 0.67* Risk Premium
Risk Premium = 5.64% / 0.67
Risk Premium = 8.42%
