Solution :

i. We have fR nominal = realR inf lation= 3 + 6.5= 9.5%

mR = 15% (it is important to know that this is also nominal i.e it includes 6.5%)

Market Risk Premium m fR R= 15 - 9.5 = 5.5%

SML e f m fR R R R β eR 9.5 5.5β

ii. Now, inflation premium = 7.5% f no min alR 3 7.5%

= 10.5%

mR = 15 + 1 = 16%

m fR R = 16 - 10.5= 5.5% (Same as earlier)

New SML= eR = 10.5 + 5.5

iii. New m fR R = 5.5 + 20% of 5.5= 6.6%

SML = eR 9.5 5.5β

iv. eR 10.5 6.6β

Note : The whole purpose of the above e.g. was to tell you that when inflationchanges, m fR R will not change.
