Despite the complications inherent in any extension of the CAPM with a labor component, labor is an important consideration in explaining the systematic risk of financial securities.

Answer:

Despite the complications inherent in any extension of the CAPM with a labor component, labor is an important consideration in explaining the systematic risk of financial securities.

b. False

Step-by-step explanation:

Instead of being an important component of the systematic risk, labor is a component of the unsystematic risk of a financial security or investment. Therefore, the risk arising from the labor component is a type of unsystematic risk. Unsystematic risks are peculiar to a firm or an industry. They are internal to the business environment of a firm or an industry. Systematic risks are market-driven risks. These latter risks include market, interest rate, and purchasing power (inflation) risks.
