Questiоn 1 (35 pоints/5 pоints eаch) Answer TRUE, FALSE or UNCERTAIN to the following stаtements. Briefly, in the spаce provided, explain your answer. Answers without explanation will notbe given credit. Suppose the CAPM holds. Tesla has a beta of 1.75 and expected rate of return 14%. The risk-free rate is 2.5% and market expected return is 8.5%. Based on the above information, is Tesla underpriced. No security except the market portfolio and the risk-free asset lies on CML. Every security has to be on SML (suppose CAPM holds). Equity markets must yield higher returns than bond markets because they are riskier. When you want to estimate the current beta of a security, you’d like to use the longest sample period available because it makes your result more accurate. In the one-factor arbitrage pricing theory (APT) model, a zero-beta portfolio must have zero risk-free excess return. Suppose portfolio Blue beats portfolio Red according to Jensen’s alpha, it is impossible that portfolio Blue loses to portfolio Red according to Treynor RVOL. According to the CAPM, if a security’s beta is negative, then its expected return must be negative.
