r(RF) = risk free rate of return; r(M) = required rate of return on a portfolio
b(i)= beta coffecient of the ith stock

Required Rate of Return : suppose r(RF) = 9%, r(M) = 14% and b(i)= 1.3

a. What is r(i) , the required rate of return on Stock i?
b. Now suppose r(RF) 1 increases to 10% or (2) decreases to 8%. The slope of the SML remains constant. How would this affect r(M) and r(i)?
c. Now assume r(RF) remains at 9% but r(M)(1) increases to 16% or (2) falls to 13%. The slope of the SML does not remain constant. How would these changes affect r(i)?
