Question
Chapter 11, Problem 10CQ
Summary Introduction
To Determine: To respond to the given statement.
Statement: “Risky security do not have expected return lesser than the risk-free rate since no risk-averse investor is willing to hold an asset in equilibrium”.
Introduction:
Beta is the risk related with a portfolio or a security in connection to the market. It is also termed as the beta coefficient; it is a method for deciding on the requirement on security or stock that may move in contrast with the market. Expected Return is a process of estimating the

An increase in the riskiness of a particular security would NOT affect:
Select one:
A.
The risk premium for that security
B.
The premium for expected inflation
C.
The total required return for the security
D.
Investors' willingness to buy the security
True or false: The CAPM states that expected returns depend on an asset’s loading on market risk. Thus, any asset with a standard deviation greater than the standard deviation of the market portfolio must have an expected return greater than the market portfolio, since it is riskier than the market. If this were not the case, no investor would be willing to hold the risky asset in their portfolio, so markets could not clear.
Which is correct about security valuation?
A. In an efficient market, several factors would affect the market and value is not necessarily equals the price.
B. The value of the security is determined to compare it with the current market price and usually investor would buy when the value equals the price.
C. Sellers would prefer the accept lower bid price than higher bid price to realize gains.
D. Investors buy securities when securities are underpriced and sell them when it is overpriced.
E. All of the above
F. None of the above

Explain whether it is TRUE, FALSE or UNCERTAIN.arrow_forwardWe understand standard deviation of returns as a measure of risk and rational investors would like to minimize risk. Notwithstanding this, you may have read that as the standard deviation of returns of the underlying asset increases the value of an option rises. If standard deviation is a measure of risk and investors do not particularly like it, why does it lead to an increase in an option's value?arrow_forward
