• B) Because a leveraged position in a stock is riskier than the stock itself, this implies that call options on a positive beta stock are more risky than the underlying stock and therefore have higher returns and higher betas.
• C) Only one parameter input for the Black-Scholes formula, the volatility of the stock price, is not observable directly.
