If all investors become more less risk-averse, the SML will _______________ and stock required returns will ________.
a. have the same slope but larger intercept; fall
b. have the same intercept with a flatter slope; fall
c. have the same intercept with a steeper slope; rise
d. have the same slope but smaller intercept; rise

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option B, have the same intercept with a flatter slope; fall.

Explanation:

Option B is correct because a more risk-averse person faces a steeper curve while the less risk-averse person faces a flatter slope. While the more risk-averse person has more return on the stock while the less risk-averse person has less return. Therefore, in the given situation, the SML will have the flatter slope and its return will fall. As it is a less risk-averse investor.
