eBook Problem Walk-Through

Suppose rRF = 6%, rM = 10%, and bi = 1.6.

  1. What is ri, the required rate of return on Stock i? Round your answer to one decimal place.

    %

  2. 1. Now suppose rRF increases to 7%. The slope of the SML remains constant. How would this affect rM and ri?

    1. rM will remain the same and ri will increase by 1 percentage point.
    2. rM will increase by 1 percentage point and ri will remain the same.
    3. Both rM and ri will decrease by 1 percentage point.
    4. Both rM and ri will remain the same.
    5. 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?

    -Select-IIIIIIIVVItem 3

    1. Both rM and ri will remain the same.
    2. Both rM and ri will decrease by 1 percentage point.
    3. rM will decrease by 1 percentage point and ri will remain the same.
    4. rM will remain the same and ri will decrease by 1 percentage point.
    5. Both rM and ri will increase by 1 percentage point.
  3. 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 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 will be ___
