Suppose rRF = 6%, rM = 10%, and
bi = 1.6.
- What is ri, the required rate of return on Stock i?
Round your answer to one decimal place.

- 1. Now suppose rRF increases to 7%. The slope of the
SML remains constant. How would this affect rM and
ri?
- rM will remain the same and ri will
increase by 1 percentage point.
- rM will increase by 1 percentage point and
ri will remain the same.
- Both rM and ri will decrease by 1
percentage point.
- Both rM and ri will remain the same.
- Both rM and ri will increase by 1
percentage point.
Now suppose rRF decreases to 5%. The slope of the SML
remains constant. How would this affect rM and
ri?
-
- Both rM and ri will remain the same.
- Both rM and ri will decrease by 1
percentage point.
- rM will decrease by 1 percentage point and
ri will remain the same.
- rM will remain the same and ri will
decrease by 1 percentage point.
- Both rM and ri will increase by 1
percentage point.
1. Now assume that rRF remains at 6%, but
rM increases to 11%. The slope of the SML does not
remain constant. How would these changes affect ri?
Round your answer to one decimal place.
The new ri will be %.
2. Now assume that rRF remains at 6%, but
rM falls to 9%. The slope of the SML does not remain
constant. How would these changes affect ri? Round your
answer to one decimal place.
The new ri will be %.
