Answer:

E.In equilibrium, the expected return on Stock A will be greater than that on B.

Explanation:Beta is a measure used in the stock marketing to describe how volatile a stock is compared the the overall market. A stock with a Beta greater than one signifies that a share is more volatile than the overall market, while a Beta less than one signifies that the market is more volatile than the stock.

IN EQUILIBRIUM, STOCK A WITH A BETA GREATER THAN ONE WILL BE MORE PROFITABLE AND GENERATE MORE INCOME THAN STOCK B WHICH HAS A LOWER BETA THAT IS LESS THAN ONE.
