The beta of a Risk-free assest equals zero
True or False ?
True
The beta is the measure of risk which shows how the share will move according to the market and in case of risk free asset, it doesn't show any movement, therefore, the beta is zero .
If you know the risk-free rate, the market risk-premium, and the beta of a stock, then using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) you will be able to calculate the expected rate of return for the stock. True False
Which is true for a firm's cost of equity: Select one a. It equals risk-free rate plus market risk premium b. It remains unaffected by firm risk c. When based on dividend growth, firm risks are ignored d. It increases as unsystematic firm risk increases

TOISRULIUSS. Expected Return = Risk free Rate + beta (expected market return - risk free rate) .04 +0.80.09 - .04) = .08 = 8.0% 3. Suppose the MiniCD Corporation's common stock has a return of 12%. Assume the risk- free rate is 4%, the expected market return is 9%, and no unsystematic influence affected Mini's return. The beta for MiniCD is:
Elba Eateries' stock has a beta of 0.70. Assume that the risk-free rate, rRF, is 5.5% and the market risk premium, (rM – rRF), equals 4%. Compute the required rate of return for Elba Eateries. Respond in percentage form without the percent sign and round to the second decimal place
True or false and why? 7. Suppose stock A’a beta is 1.3 and stock B’s beta is 0.7. Then in capital market equilibrium (e.g. the required returns equals expected return), the expected return of Stock A should be smaller than that on B. 8. The weighted average of the expected returns on the stocks in the portfolio is an important statistical information and it is also called realized return.
True/False questions A particular stock is characterized by a negative beta, but a large standard deviation two times that of a broad-based market index. Due to this stock's substantial total risk, we expect its return to exceed that of a risk-free asset. The fact that over 1/4 of all professionally managed stock mutual funds are able to outperform the S&P 500 in a typical year, is evidence against the semi-strong form of market efficiency.
A firm is considering a project that is virtually risk-free. The company has a beta of 1.3 and a debt-equity ratio of .4. The appropriate discount rate to use in analyzing this project is: Select one: a. Zero. b. The firm’s latest WACC. c. The cost of equity capital. d. The U.S. Treasury bill rate. e. An adjusted WACC based on a beta of 1.0.
