Answer:

The correct answer is (a) stock A is overpriced, this is because the actual rate of return is lesser than the intrinsic return rate.

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Stock A has beta of =1.19

Expected rate of return =13.42%

Market premium risk =8.2%

Risk free rate is =4.1%

Now

The expected rate return = risk-free rate + beta * (market risk premium)

=4.1+ 1.19*8.2

= 13.858%

Therefore, the stock A is overpriced because the actual rate of return is lower than the intrinsic return rate.
