Using an expected return of 10.1% per year, you recently estimated the fair value of Zenon-5’s common stock to be $44.12 per share. You also noticed that the stock is currently trading at a price of $32.85 per share. Given the expected annuity stream of cash dividends, and the current trading price of the stock, you’ve estimated that if the stock was purchased today and held for 8 years, the IRR would be 14.39% per year. Determine the degree of mispricing associated with the stock. Provide an answer as a percentage, not as a decimal, with at least 4 digits of precision.
