The risk-free rate is 3%, and you believe the following probability distribution for future market returns is realistic: Probability Market Return 0.1 (5%) 0.2 10 0.4 12 0.2 14 0.1 15 What is the equation for the Security Market Line (SML)? (Hint: First determine the expected market return.) ri = 3.0% + (7.6%)bi ri = 3.6% + (9.1%)bi ri = 3.0% + (7.7%)bi ri = 1.7% + (7.6%)bi ri = 1.7% + (7.7%)bi Calculate Kish's required rate of return. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. % Suppose Rick Kish, the president, receives a proposal from a company seeking new capital.
