Answer #1

Required Rate of XYZ = 0.04 + 0.40(0.12 - 0.04)

Required Rate of XYZ = 7.20%

Required Rate of ABC = 0.04 + 1.30(0.12 - 0.04)

Required Rate of ABC =14.40%

Stock XYZ is more undervalued so it should be bought.

Alpha of Stock XYZ = 0.08 - 0072 = 0.80%

Alpha of Stock ABC = 0.15 - 0.144 = 0.60%
