Answer to Question 1

A stock that is more volatile (riskier) than the market average will have a beta of greater than 1. This means that the return that stockholders will require will be greater than average kj = Rf +(km - Rf). In other words, the company will have to pay stockholders more since they must take a greater risk, and the equity cost of capital will rise.
