Dixon Food's stock has a beta of 1.4,while Clark Café's stock has a beta of 0.7.Assume that the risk-free rate,rRF,is 5.5% and the market risk premium, (rM − rRF) ,equals 4%.Which of the following statements is CORRECT?

B) Since Dixon's beta is twice that of Clark's, its required rate of return will also be twice that of Clark's.
C) If the risk-free rate increases while the market risk premium remains constant, then the required return on an average stock will increase.
D) If the market risk premium decreases but the risk-free rate remains unchanged, Dixon's required return will decrease because it has a beta greater than 1.0 and Clark's will also decrease, but by more than Dixon's because it has a beta less than 1.0.
E) If the risk-free rate increases but the market risk premium remains unchanged, the required return will increase for both stocks but the increase will be larger for Dixon since it has a higher beta.
