Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

from the CAPM formula we can derive the statemeent as true.

[tex]Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)[/tex]

risk free = 0.05

market rate = 0.12

premium market = (market rate - risk free) 0.07

beta(non diversifiable risk) = 0

[tex]Ke= 0.05 + 0 (0.07)[/tex]

Ke 0.05000

As the beta multiplies the difference between the market rate and risk-free rate a beta of zero will nulify the second part of the equation leaving only the risk-free rate. This means the portfolio is not expose to volatility
