Are statements below true or false? Explain your answer.

a) Assume that CAPM holds. Given that stocks A and B, which are traded in the same market, have the same expected return, their betas must be the same.

b) Stocks A and B, which are traded in the same market, have the same beta. Given that Correlation (A,Market)>Correlation (B,Market), it must be the case that Standard deviation(A)<Standard deviation(B).

c) Assume that CAPM holds. In January 2015 stock A had some expected return. In February 2015 risk-free rate increased compared to January 2015, but the expected market return and stock A beta stayed the same. It must be the case that the expected return on stock A increased in February 2015 compared to its expected return in January 2015.

d) If the stock market consists of only 1 stock, that stock must have a beta of 1. Problem 2: Expected Return (2 points)

Assume that CAPM holds. Stock A has beta of 0.4. The expected market return is 10%. The risk-free rate is 1.5%. What is the expected return on stock A?

Problem 3: Risk-free Rate

Assume that CAPM holds. Stock A has a beta of 1.8 and expected return of 21.2%. The expected market return is 12%. What is the risk-free rate?
