I vaguely recall that the risk premium is tied to systematic risk in CAPM. So, I might lean towards A, but I need to double-check.

Unsure about this one... I thought unsystematic risk was more relevant in other contexts, but CAPM seems to highlight systematic risk.

I think the CAPM focuses on systematic risk, but I'm not entirely sure if it's about the risk premium or the risk discount.

This is a classic CAPM question. The fundamental principle is that the risk premium is determined by the security's systematic risk, not its unsystematic risk. So I'm confident option A is the correct answer.

I'm a little confused by the wording of the question. Is it asking about the risk premium or the risk discount? I'll have to re-read the options more closely to make sure I understand what they're asking.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. CAPM says the expected return on a security is a function of the risk-free rate, the market risk premium, and the security's beta. So the risk premium portion must be related to systematic risk, not unsystematic risk. I'll go with A.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know CAPM is about systematic risk, but I can't quite remember if the risk premium is a function of systematic or unsystematic risk. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Haha, unsystematic risk? What is this, a joke question? Everyone knows CAPM is all about systematic risk, so A is the right choice.

This is a classic CAPM question. The fundamental idea is that the market portfolio is the one with the highest Sharpe ratio, so the risk premium has to be a function of systematic risk. Option A is the correct answer.

CAPM definitely says that systematic risk is what determines the risk premium, not unsystematic risk. Option A is the way to go here.
