D. unique risk.arrow_forwardWhen, if ever, will the geometric average return exceed the arithmetic average return for a given set of returns? Never When the set of returns includes only risk-free rates.

Explainarrow_forward
- Which of the following statements regarding unsystematic risk is accurate? Multiple Choice It is measured by beta. It is compensated for by the risk premium. It can be effectively eliminated by portfolio diversification. It is measured by standard deviation. It is related to the overall economy.arrow_forwardA measure of how the returns of two risky assets move in relation to each other is the: Elasticity Covariance. Beta. Correlation. All of the other answers.arrow_forwardWhich one of the following statements is correct? Multiple Choice The risk-free rate of return has a risk premium of 1.0. The reward for bearing risk is called the standard deviation. Risks and expected return are inversely related. The higher the expected rate of return, the wider the distribution of returns. Risk premiums are inversely related to the standard deviation of returns.arrow_forward
