QuestionAsset A , which has an expected return of 12%12 \% and a beta of 0.8 , plots on the security market line. Which of the following is false about Asset B , another risky asset with a beta of 1.4 ?
Multiple Choice If Asset B plots on the SML with an expected return =18%=18 \%, the expected return on the market must be 15%15 \%. Asset B has more systematic risk than both Asset A and the market porffolio. If the market is in equilibrium, Asset BB also plots on the SML. If Asset B plots on the SML with an expected return =18%=18 \%, then the risk-free rate must be 4%4 \%. If Asset B plots on the SML, then Asset B and Asset AA have the same reward to risk ratio.

Studdy Solution
Compare the reward-to-risk ratio of Asset B and Asset A:
The reward-to-risk ratio is given by E(Ri)Rfβi \frac{E(R_i) - R_f}{\beta_i} .
Calculate for both assets and compare.
The false statement is:
"Asset B has more systematic risk than both Asset A and the market portfolio." (This statement is true, not false, as Asset B's beta is higher than both Asset A and the market portfolio.)
