Explanation / Answer

Let us calculate required return as per CAPM method

As per CAPM = Rj=Rf+b(Rm-Rf)

Rf= risk free return

Rm = Risk premium

b = beta

Rj=6%+1.36(12%-6%)

=6%+1.36(6%)

=6%+8.16%

=14.16%

If firm will earn 14% next year than it will below the expectation of shareholders and thus there would be sell off in the market. Thus share is overvalued.
