a)RDR= risk-free rate+ margin for risk. How does RDR relate to the investment return? That is the i in (Premiums-Expenses)*(1+i).
b)Why do shareholders require a high RDR?
c)Is RDR used to determine the VIF and present value of share price?
 
RDR can be viewed in different ways; but one way is to think of of it as return required by the shareholders, as opposed to your i which is the return expected on your assets.
b. the more profit the better - compensation for tying up capital and taking risk
c. can be - but will have different RDRs for different purposes (and many ways to value a share price)
