Answer:

The portfolio with a beta of 1.38 should earn the most risk premium based on CAPM.

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

A diversified portfolio with returns similar to the overall market will not earn the most risk premium because its beta is equal to 1.

A stock with a beta of 1.38 produces the most risk premium because any stock with the highest beta gives the highest risk-premium. This is the correct answer.

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.
