Respuesta :

Answer:

Stock B is correctly priced

Explanation:

The expected return is shown below:

For stock A

= 2.5 + 0.68 × 8

= 7.94

For stock B

= 2.5 + 1.42 × 8

= 13.86

For stock C

= 2.5 + 1.23 × 8

= 12.34

For stock D

= 2.5 + 1.31 × 8

= 12.98

For stock E

= 2.5 + 0.94 × 8

= 10.02

So stock B is correctly priced
