Introduction:
Beta Risk:
Beta risk is a systematic risk that can be reduced through a diversified portfolio or investment projects. It is based on the market related and known as market risk.
Within-firm Risk:
The firm or project specific risk is known as within-firm risk. It is based on the project and assumes that a particular project is the only investment. Hence, the risk associated with it cannot be diversified for the corporation.
Stand-alone Risk:
Stand-alone risk is based on the assumption that only one project is available with the company and the single stock is available for the investors. Therefore, the stand-alone risk cannot be diversified.
