Stock A has a beta of .68 and an expected return of 8.1 percent. Stock B has a beta of 1.42 and an expected return of 13.9 percent. Stock C has beta of 1.23 and an expected return of 12.4 percent. Stock D has a beta of 1.31 and an expected return of 12.6 percent. Stock E has a beta of .94 and an expected return of 9.8 percent. Which one of these stocks is the most accurately priced if the risk-free rate of return is 2.5 percent and the market risk premium is 8 percent
