- Suppose rRF = 6%, rM = 12%, and bi = 1.1. 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. 2. Now suppose rRF decreases to 5%. The slope of the SML remains constant. How would this affect rM and ri? rM will remain the same and ri will decrease by 1 percentage point. Both rM and ri will increase by 1 percentage point. 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. 1.
