Question

The market risk, beta, of a security is equal to Group of answer choices the variance of the security's returns divided by the covariance between the security and market returns. the covariance between the security's return and the market return divided by the variance of the market's returns. None of the listed answers. the variance of the security's returns divided by the variance of the market's returns. the covariance between the security and market returns divided by the standard deviation of the market's returns.

Answer 1

Answer:

the covariance between the security's return and the market return divided by the variance of the market's returns

Explanation:

The market risk, beta of the security would be equivalent to the

Beta = Cov(rm, rs) ÷  Var(rm)

Rm denotes  market return

rs denotes security return

Cov denotes covariance

Var denotes variance

Hence, the second option is correct

And, the rest of the options are wrong
