You are following five different stocks and need to issue a recommendation (buy, hold, or sell) to your customers. The market return is 7 percent, with a standard deviation of 4 percent. The risk-free rate is 3 percent. The CAPM is assumed to hold.

To determine the recommendations, begin by calculating the required returns for each security using the CAPM. Comparing the expected and required returns will indicate which securities are underpriced, overpriced, or correctlypriced.
