• D) If the price of money increases due to greater anticipated inflation,the risk-free rate will reflect this fact.Although r_RF will increase,it is possible that the SML required rate of return for a stock will decrease because the market risk premium (r_M − r_RF)will decrease.(Assume that beta remains constant. )
• E) Any change in beta is likely to affect the required rate of return on a security which implies that a change in beta will likely have an impact on the security's price.
