    Hello SIr,

    just a small clarification

    If Beta Equity is more than 1 for a particular project, does this always mean that the riskiness of the new project is more responsive to changes in market (will fluctuate more than normal)

    and less than 1, indicating the opposite ??

    Yes – >1 means that it fluctuates more than the average (the market) and is more risky. Less than 1 means that it fluctuates less than the market and is less risky.

    Business risk is another name for unsystematic risk ?

    No – for systematic risk!

    I do suggest you watch the free lecture on CAPM.
