We estimate the top quark, lightest sparticle (LSP), and Higgs scalar masses within a supersymmetric grand unified framework in which tan[beta][congruent][ital m][sub [ital t]][sup 0]/[ital m][sub [ital b]][sup 0] and the electroweak symmetry is radiatively broken. The requirement that the calculated [ital b] quark mass lies close to its measured value, together with the cosmological constraint [Omega][sub LSP][approx]1, fixes the top quark mass to be [ital m][sub [ital t]]([ital m][sub [ital t]])[approx]140--185 GeV. The LSP (of [ital B]-ino purity [approx gt] 98%) has a mass [similar to]200--350 GeV. In the scalar Higgs sector the [ital CP]-odd scalar mass [ital m][sub [ital A]][approx lt]220 GeV. With [ital m][sub [ital A]][approx gt][ital M][sub [ital Z]], as suggested by the decay [ital b][r arrow][ital s][gamma], we find [ital M][sub [ital Z]][approx lt][ital m][sub [ital h]][sup 0]([ital m][sub [ital H]][sup 0])[approx lt]140(220) GeV and 120 GeV [approx lt][ital m][sub [ital H]][sup [plus minus]][approx lt]240 GeV.
