Nile Foods’ stock has a beta of 1.5, while Elba Eateries’ stock has a beta of 0.5. Assume that the risk-free rate, rRF, is 6.2% and the market risk premium, (rM– rRF), equals 7%. Which of the following statements is correct?

If the risk-free rate decreases but the market risk premium remains unchanged, the required return will decrease for both stocks, but the decrease will be larger for Nile since it has a higher beta.


If the market risk premium decreases but the risk-free rate remains unchanged, Nile’s required return will decrease because it has a beta greater than 1.0 but Elba’s will increase because it has a beta less than 1.0.


Since Nile’s beta is three times that of Elba’s, its required rate of return will also be three times that of Elba’s.


If the risk-free rate decreases while the market risk premium remains constant, then the required return on an average stock will decrease.

Once thought to have neurofibromatosis, Joseph Merrick (also known as "the elephant man") is now, in retrospect, thought by clinical experts to have had Proteus syndrome.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
