NOTES;

• If the market value is equal to intrinsic value, we say that the market has efficiently priced the stock

              Example; market price of KLL Airway=$15 and the intrinsic value=$15

• If the market price/value of stock is more than the intrinsic value, we say the market has overpriced stock or we say the stock is overpriced

              Example; market price of KLL Airway=$25> Intrinsic value=$15

• If the market price/value of stock is less than the intrinsic value, we say the market has underpriced stock or we say the stock is overpriced

              Example; market price of KLL Airway=$15< Intrinsic value=$22
