B) If the beta of the asset is smaller than the firm's beta,then the required return on the asset is greater than the required return on the firm.
C) If the beta of the asset is greater than the firm's beta prior to the addition of that asset,then the firm's beta after the purchase of the asset will be smaller than the original firm's beta.
D) If the beta of an asset is larger than the firm's beta prior to the addition of that asset,then the required return on the firm will be greater after the purchase of that asset than prior to its purchase.

Multiple Choice
A) If the expected rate of return on a given capital project lies above the SML,the project should be accepted even if its beta is greater than the beta of the firm's average project.
B) If a project's return lies below the SML,it should be rejected if it has a beta greater than the firm's existing beta but accepted if its beta is below the firm's beta.
C) If two mutually exclusive projects' expected returns are both above the SML,the project with the lower risk should be accepted.
D) If a project's expected rate of return is greater than the expected rate of return on an average project,it should be accepted.
E) None of the statements is correct.
