A firm can affect its beta risk by changing the composition of its assets and by modifying its use of debt financing, but external factors do not have any bearing on a firm's beta.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
False
A firm can affect its beta risk by changing the composition of its assets and by modifying its use of debt financing. External factors, such as increased competition within a firm's industry or the expiration of basic patents, can also alter a company's beta. When such changes occur, the required rate of return, r, changes as well. See 8-4: The Relationship between Risk and Rates of Return: The CAPM
