- I'm stuck in Question 4arrow_forwardThe CAPM states that the expected (required) return on an asset is : E(Ri)=Rf+βi[E(RM)−Rf] where the term in square brackets is the risk-premium earned by the market portfolio.

- (Figure in attachment!!!) Problem 4: For each of the following statements, judge if it is true or false, andprovide a detailed explanation behind your answers.a) Roll’s critique is that the market is never truly in equilibrium and henceone can never truly test whether the CAPM holds.b) The figure below shows the risk and expected return of 4 given assets.Consider an investor with “Mean-Variance” preferences, and the statement:“If the investor is indifferent between assets A and D, then she prefers Cto B; but if she is indifferent between B and C, she prefers A to D.”.c) Suppose you make a “scatter plot”, each point representing a pair ofcontemporaneous returns from a time series of returns on the marketportfolio and a single asset. If the CAPM holds, you would expect all points to line up perfectly on a straight line, the slope of which is theasset’s beta.PS: (Problem 4 figure in attachment!!!)arrow_forward4. Which of the following statements about the Sharpe ratio is false? (a) The Sharpe ratio is equal to the excess return of a portfolio over the market return divided by the total risk of the portfolio. (b) The Sharpe ratio can be used to evaluate absolute performance of undiversified portfolios. (c) The Sharpe ratio considers both the systematic and unsystematic risks of a portfolio. (d) The Sharpe ratio is derived from the capital market line.arrow_forward<Urgent> please answer M9,M10,M11arrow_forward
