Graphical Derivation of Beta c) Looking at the graph we can see that the best-fit line of returns for Asset B is steeper (has greater slope) than Asset A The slopes of these lines are the betas for each asset: 2.61 for Asset B and 1.48 for Asset A. The greater beta value of Asset B signifies that it is more responsive to market factors and therefore makes it more risky than Asset A. P8-20 Interpreting Beta a. A 15% increase in market return would lead to an 18% (15%
