The capital asset pricing model: A. provides a risk-return trade-off in which risk is measured in terms of the market returns. B. provides a risk-return trade-off in which risk is measured in terms of beta. C. measures risk as the coefficient of variation between security and market rates of return. D. depicts the total risk of a security.

Step 1
Option A suggests that CAPM measures risk in terms of market returns. This is not entirely accurate. While market returns are a component of the CAPM, they are not the measure of risk in the model. Option B suggests that CAPM measures risk in terms of beta. Show more…

Assume the single-factor model is applied to a security that has a negative factor beta. The security will: A) always have a positive rate of return. B) have an expected return greater than the risk-free rate. C) have an actual return that equals the risk-free rate. D) have an expected return equal to the market rate of return. E) have an actual rate of return that can be positive, negative, or zero.

When working with the CAPM, which of the following factors can be determined with the most precision? a. The beta coefficient, bi, of a relatively safe stock. b. The most appropriate risk-free rate, rRF. c. The expected rate of return on the market, rM. d. The beta coefficient of "the market," which is the same as the beta of an average stock. e. The market risk premium (RPM).
