If a Project Is Small Relative to the Total Firm

question 11

True/False

If a project is small relative to the total firm, and if its returns are not highly correlated with the returns on the firm's other assets, then the project may not be very risky in either the within-firm (corporate) or the market risk sense, even if the returns on the project are highly uncertain and thus the project has a high degree of stand-alone risk.
