calculate, using the SML, the expected return on a security, and evaluate whether the security is overvalued, undervalued, or properly valued
The required rate of return for Easy is 5% + 1.25(6%) = 12.5%. The required return is greater than the estimated return, so the stock is overvalued. Bravo's required rate of return is 5% + 1(6%) = 11% (because the beta is 1.0, the return is the same as the market). The required return is less than the estimated return, so the stock is undervalued.
