Suppose that an SML indicates that assets with a beta $=1.15$ should have an average expected rate of return of 12 percent per year. If a particular stock with a beta $=1.15$ currently has an average expected rate of return of 15 percent, what should we expect to happen to its price? a. Rise. b. Fall. c. Stay the same.

Both assets B and C plot on the SML. Asset B has a beta of 1.3 and an expected return of 13.1%. Asset C has a beta of 0.50 and an expected return of 7.50%. The risk-free rate is 4% and the expected return on the market portfolio is 11%. If you wish to hold a portfolio consisting of assets B and C, and have a portfolio beta equal to 1.0, what proportion of the portfolio must be in asset B? A) 0.375 B) 0.50 C) 0.625 D) 0.75 Show work!

Consider another situation involving the SML. Suppose that the risk-free interest rate stays the same, but that investors' dislike of risk grows more intense. Given this change, will average expected rates of return rise or fall? Next, compare what will happen to the rates of return on low-risk and high-risk investments. Which will have a larger increase in average expected rates of return, investments with high betas or investments with low betas? And will high-beta or low-beta investments show larger percentage changes in their prices?
Multiple choice: Select the best answer for Exercises 21 to 26. Is there significant evidence that selling price increases as appraised value increases? To answer this question, test the hypotheses (a) $H_{0} : \beta=0$ versus $H_{a} : \beta > 0$ (b) $H_{0} : \beta=0$ versus $H_{a} : \beta < 0$ (c) $H_{0} : \beta=0$ versus $H_{a} : \beta \neq 0$ (d) $H_{0} : \beta>0$ versus $H_{a} : \beta=0$ (e) $H_{0} : \beta=1$ versus $H_{a} : \beta > 1$
