Are the following true or false? Explain.a. Stocks with a beta of zero offer an expected rate of return of zero.b.

Are the following true or false? Explain.
Stocks with a beta of zero offer an expected rate of return of zero.
The CAPM implies that investors require a higher return to hold highly volatile securities.
You can construct a portfolio with beta of .75 by investing .75 of the investment budget in T-bills and the remainder in the market portfolio.
The beta coefficient for Stock C is βc = 0.4 and that for Stock D is βd = -0.5 (Stock D’s beta is negative, indicating that its rate of return rises whenever returns on most other stocks fall. There are very few negative-beta stocks, although collection agency and gold mining stocks are sometimes cited as examples.)
a. If the risk-free rate is 9% and the expected rate of return on an average stock is 13%, what are the required rates of return on Stocks C and D?
b. For Stock C, suppose the current price, Po, is $25; the next expected dividend, D1, is $1.50; and the stock’s expected constant growth rate is 4%. Is the stock in equilibrium? Explain, and describe what would happen if the stock were not in equilibrium.
