B	120 million	1.1
C	80 million	1.8
D	80 million	1.0
E	60 million	1.8

Kish's beta coefficient can be found as a weighted average of its stocks' betas. The risk-free rate is 3%, and you believe the following probability distribution for future market returns is realistic:

Probability	Market Return
0.1	-25	%
0.2	0
0.4	13

1. What is the equation for the Security Market Line (SML)? (Hint: First determine the expected market return.)
   1. r_i = 1.0% + (11.6%)b_i
   2. r_i = 3.0% + (9.2%)b_i
   3. r_i = 1.9% + (10.0%)b_i
   4. r_i = 1.9% + (9.2%)b_i
   5. r_i = 3.0% + (10.0%)b_i
