Sourced in part from Harvard Business Review May - June 1988.  More detailed
explanation is attached.

V = EPS(8.5 + 2g)4.4/Yaaa

V = company's intrinisc value
EPS = company's last 12-month earnings per share
g = company's long-term earnings growth estimate
Yaaa = is the yield on AAA corporate bonds.
8.5 represents the appropriate P-E ratio for a no-growth company as proposed
by Graham
4.4 was the average yield of high-grade corporate bonds in 1962

To apply this approach to a buy-sell decision, each company's relative
Graham value (RGV) can be determined by dividing the stock's intrinsic value
V by its current price P.
RGV = V/P
An RGV of less than one indicates an overavalued stock, while an RGV of
greater than one indicates an undervalued stock.
