Answer:

Which stock has more systematic risk?

  • Exxon Mobil (XOM)

Which stock has more total risk?

  • General Motors (GM)

Explanation:

Systematic risk refers basically to the stock's risk compared to the market risk, when the stock's beta = 1, its systematic risk is the same as the market risk. In this case, since XOM has a larger beta than GM, then its systematic risk is higher.

To calculate which stock has a higher total risk I just multiply the stock's beta times the expected volatility, and GM's risk is higher.
