State whether each of the following is inconsistent with the CAPM. A security with only diversifiable risk has an expected return that exceeds the risk-free interest rate. A security with a beta of 1 had a return last year of 15% when the market had a return of 9% Small stocks with a beta of 1.5 tend to have higher returns on average than large stocks with a beta of 1.5.
Suppose that Federal Reserve actions have caused an increase in the risk-free rate, rRF. Meanwhile, investors are afraid of a recession, so the market risk premium, (rM − rRF), has increased. Under these conditions, with other things held constant, which of the following statements is most correct? a. The required return on all stocks would increase, but the increase would be greatest for stocks with betas of less than 1.0. b. Stocks' required returns would change, but so would expected returns, and the result would be no change in stocks' prices. c. The prices of all stocks would decline, but the decline would be greatest for high-beta stocks. d. The prices of all stocks would increase, but the increase would be greatest for high-beta stocks. e. The required return on all stocks would increase by the same amount.
Suppose that during the coming year, the risk free rate, rRF, is expected to remain the same, while the market risk premium (rM − rRF), is expected to fall. Given this forecast, which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The required return on all stocks will remain unchanged. b. The required return will fall for all stocks, but it will fall more for stocks with higher betas. c. The required return for all stocks will fall by the same amount. d. The required return will fall for all stocks, but it will fall less for stocks with higher betas. e. The required return will increase for stocks with a beta less than 1.0 and will decrease for stocks with a beta greater than 1.0.
