Which of the following statements is CORRECT? (Assume that the risk-free rate is a constant.) a. The effect of a change in the market risk premium depends on the slope of the yield curve. b. If the market risk premium increases by 1%, then the required return on all stocks will rise by 1%. c. If the market risk premium increases by 1%, then the required return will increase by 1% for a stock that has a beta of 1.0. d. The effect of a change in the market risk premium depends on the level of the risk-free rate. e. If the market risk premium increases by 1%, then the required return will increase for stocks that have a beta greater than 1.0, but it will decrease for stocks that have a beta less than 1.0.

1. Stock Y has a beta of 1.2 and an expected return of 11.1 percent. Stock Z has a beta of .8 and an expected return of 7.85 percent. If the risk-free rate is 2.4 percent and the market risk premium is 7.2 percent, the reward-to-risk ratios for stocks Y and Z are ____ and ____ percent, respectively. Since the SML reward-to-risk is ____ percent, Stock Y is ____(undervalued/ overvalued) and Stock Z is ____(undervalued/ overvalued).
