Ke = 0.11

Explanation:

we analize considering the CAMP formula:

risk free

market rate

premium market: market rate - risk free

beta(non diversifiable risk)

a. If a stock has a negative beta, its required return must also be negative

b. If a stock's beta doubles, its required return must also double.

FALSE

It will increase by beta times risk premium

d. An idex fund with beta = 1.0 should have a required return greater than 11%

FALSE we calcualte for beta of 1 and obtain 11%

e. An index fund with beta = 1.0 should have a required return less than 11%

FALSE we calcualte for beta of 1 and obtain 11%
