Sales revenue ($720*700) $504000
Variable costs:
Cost of generators($470*700) ($329000)
Commission(5%*$504000) <u> ($25200)</u>
Contribution margin $149,800
Fixed costs

Additional commission is fixed amount,so it is a fixed cost, while costs of buying generators as well as the commission of 5% are both variable costs.
Answer:
The stock is undervalued. As the required rate of return (6.5%) on market is less than the actual return (7%), the stock is said to be undervalued as it provides an actual return greater than the required rate of return.
Explanation:
To check if a stock is over valued, undervalued or correctly valued, we simply compare the required rate of return on a stock as measured by CAPM with the actual return on the stock.
We can calculate the required rate of return using CAPM equation. The formula for required rate of return under CAPM is,
r = rRf + Beta * (rM - rRF)
Where,
- rRf is the risk free rate
- rM is the return on market
r = 0.05 + 0.5 * (0.08 - 0.05)
r = 0.065 or 6.5%
As the required rate of return on market is less than the actual return, the stock is said to be undervalued as it provides an actual return greater than the required rate of return.
