It can be measured by a metric called the beta coefficient, which calculates the degree to which a stock moves with the movements in the market. Q2. Based on your understanding of the beta coefficient, indicate whether each statement in the following table is true or false: Statement True False Over time, a stock with a beta of 1.0 produces a return that goes up and down with a 1:1 relationship with the return on the market. Beta measures the volatility in stock movements relative to the market. A stock that is more volatile than the market will have a beta of less than 1.0. Q1.
