Answer:

risk premium increases by more of the low - beta stock

A risk averse investor is an investor that avoids risk. if risk aversion increases, it means that the investor is more wary of risky investment.

Beta measures the volatility of a portfolio. the higher the volatility, the more risky the portfolio is.

risk premium measures the rate of return in excess of the risk free rate.

According to CAPM :

risk free rate + (beta x stock risk premium)

Beta is a multiplier of stock risk premium, so the higher the beta, the more there would be an increase in the stock risk premium

If a risk averse investor invests in a high beta stock, he would want extra or higher compensation for holding such a volatile stock. this extra compensation would be in the form of a higher risk premium.

Whats the difference between the salary and hourly calculator? pleaseeee helpp
Bingel [31]
The main difference between the salary and hourly calculator is that the salary calculator is paid to an employee on the basis of an annual amount that is known as salary and hourly calculator is based on the hourly payment. This is the basic difference between the salary and hourly calculator. For a salaried employee, the number of hours worked in a month can vary without affecting the total salary fixed. In case of hourly calculated payment, the number of hours worked has a direct impact on the payment received. If the number of hours worked is less then the hourly calculated payment will also be less.
