Answer:
The bonds are guaranteed as to principal and interest payments by the US government.
Explanation:
According to NASAA's Statement of Policy on Unethical or Dishonest Business Practices of Broker-Dealers and Agents, a broker can say US government bonds are guaranteed on principal and interest payments.
However if inflation sets in and interest rates rises there is no guarantee from the government that interest paid on the bonds will match the higher interest rate.
So legally this statement is correct, even though the investor can lose money as a result of higher interest rate in the future.
Answer:
The portfolio with a beta of 1.38 should earn the most risk premium based on CAPM.
The correct answer is B

A stock with a beta of 0.74 does not provide the highest risk premium.
Us treasury bill does not provide any risk premium since it is the risk-free rate.
A portfolio with a beta of 1.01 does not produce the highest risk premium.
