The Security Market Line (SML) shows the relationship between stocks' required rates of return (measured on the vertical axis) a

nd their betas (measured on the horizontal axis). The vertical axis intercept is the required rate of return on a riskless asset, and the required rate of return associated with b = 1.0 is the required rate of return on "the market." The difference between the required rate of return on the market and that on the riskless asset (rM – rRF) is defined as the "market risk premium." The steeper the SML, the larger the market risk premium, and the greater the average investor's aversion to risk. True or false?

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The reason is that the straight line equation is used to illustrate the relation between the rate of return and the beta factor and is given as under:

Y = a + bX

Here

a = Rf

B = Risk premium = Rm - Rf

X = Beta Factor

So this means the security market line is the graphical presentation of capital asset pricing model and illustrates why the increase in beta factor increases the required rate of return, the reason is that the the overall required return Y of the investment will start increasing with the increase in the beta factor.

So the statement is true.

Complete question:

You have just been hired by SecuriDoor Corporation, the manufacturer of a revolutionary new garage door opening device. The president has asked that you review the company’s costing system and “do what you can to help us get better control of our manufacturing overhead costs.” You find that the company has never used a flexible budget, and you suggest that preparing such a budget would be an excellent first step in overhead planning and control.

      After much effort and analysis, you determined the following cost formulas and gathered the following actual cost data for April:

                                          Actual Cost in April

 Utilities    $16,700 plus $.14 per machine-hour      $ 21,020    

 Maintenance   $38,300 plus $1.50 per machine-hour   $ 59,100    

 Supplies      $.40 per machine-hour          $ 7,000    

 Indirect labor  $94,700 plus $1.80 per machine-hour   $ 128,000    

 Depreciation   $68,400    $ 70,100  

During March, the company worked 16,000 machine-hours and produced 10,000 units. The company had originally planned to work 18,000 machine-hours during March.
