' Is it possible that most investors might regard Stock 8 as being less risky than Stock A? I. If Stock 8 is more highly correlated with the market than A, then it might have a lower beta than Stock A, and hence be less risky in a portfolio sense. II. If Stock B is more highly correlated with the market than A, then it might have the same beta as Stock A, and hence be just as risky in a portfolio sense. III. If Stock B is less highly correlated with the market than A, then it might have a lower beta than Stock A, and hence be less risky in a portfolio sense. IV. If Stock B is less highly correlated with the market than A, then it might have a higher beta than Stock A, and hence be more risky in a portfolio sense. V. If Stock B is more highly correlated with the market than A, then it might have a higher beta than Stock A, and hence be less risky in a portfolio sense. -Select- v c. Assume the risk-free rate is 1.5%. What are the Sharpe ratios for Stocks A and B? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to four decimal places. Stock A: A Stock 8: 7 Are these calculations consistent with the information obtained from the coefcient of variation calculations in Part in? I. In a stand-alone risk sense A is less risky than B. If Stock B is less highly correlated with the market than A, then it might have a higher beta than Stock A, and hence be more risky in a portfolio sense. II. In a stand-alone risk sense A is more risky than B. If Stock B is less highly correlated with the market than A, then it might have a lower beta than Stock A, and hence be less risky In a portfolio sense. if > 111.
