Hi sir
when do we ungear and re gear instead of just using the ungeared beta in CAPM formula?
If we are using beta to calculate the cost of equity, then we need the geared beta because that measures the riskiness of the share itself.
Thank you sir, you are simply the best
Yes – if you are asked for the cost of equity then this is correct.
The cost of equity is always determined from the geared (equity) beta.
(although obviously if the company is all equity financed, or if the project is to be financed all from equity, then the geared beta will be the same as the ungeared (asset) beta. (
So sir this sort of question cant come ryt?cz we only get questions which will be fully financed by equity and hence no gearing??
In the bpp study text. They un-gear the beta and re-gear it according to current company and then use it in the formula to get cost of equity…
Thank you for the explanation on the Discount rate to use for the exam question
This is surely a class act!
My only wish is to have a lecturer like you when I do P4.
@funlover,
p4 ! yes john we need you!
