Currently, the risk free rate is 6% and the market risk premium is 5%. Given this information,which of the following statements is Correct?a. If a stock has a negative beta, its required return must also be negativeb. If a stock's beta doubles, its required return must also double.c.An index fund with beta = 1.0 should have a required return of 11%d. An idex fund with beta = 1.0 should have a required return greater than 11%e. An index fund with beta = 1.0 should have a required return less than 11%

Answer:

c.An index fund with beta = 1.0 should have a required return of 11%

CORRECT We calcualte and obtain the proposed answer.

[tex]Ke= 0.06 + 1(0.05)[/tex]

Ke = 0.11

Explanation:

we analize considering the CAMP formula:

[tex]Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)[/tex]

risk free

market rate

premium market: market rate - risk free

beta(non diversifiable risk)

a. If a stock has a negative beta, its required return must also be negative

b. If a stock's beta doubles, its required return must also double.

FALSE

It will increase by beta times risk premium

[tex]r_f + 2 \beta (r_m-r_f) - r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)[/tex]

[tex]r_f - r_f + 2 \beta (r_m-r_f) - \beta (r_m-r_f)[/tex]

[tex] \beta (r_m-r_f)[/tex]

d. An idex fund with beta = 1.0 should have a required return greater than 11%

FALSE we calcualte for beta of 1 and obtain 11%

e. An index fund with beta = 1.0 should have a required return less than 11%

FALSE we calcualte for beta of 1 and obtain 11%
