As the return on asset is calcualte using the asset figure it will not change with a financial leverage measurement.

Answer:
a) The required rate of return is 14.75%
b) The expected return on this stock is 16% which is more than its required rate of return 14.75%, thus it is underpriced.
Explanation:
a)
Using the SML equation, we can calculate the required rate of return (r) of a stock.
r = rFR + β * (rM - rFR)
r = 6% + 1.25 * (13% - 6%)
r = 0.1475 or 14.75%
b)
The SML shows the return that is required on a security based on the risk is carries. Using SML we calculate the required rate of return which is the percentage return that investors require a security to provide.
If the expected return is greater than the required rate of return which means that security is expected to provide more than is required then the security is underpriced.
The expected return on this stock is 16% which is more than its required rate of return 14.75%, thus it is underpriced.
