1 – How to calculate or decide the current price & exercise price in a case study of BSOP model. I mean to say on what basis we will decide which one will be current price & which one will be exercise price in a case or scenario.
2 – I have come across in several question the cost of equity has calculated on asset beta or un geared beta rather than geared/equity beta. is it correct to calculate the Ke on asset beta. if it is on what circumstances Ke will be calculated on asset beta.
Pls help me out.
Thanks.

2. Equity beta is the ungeared risk, so the risk originating in just the equity investment. The asset beta incorporates any financing risk from debt. Ke is the cost of equity so you would have to ungear an asset beta to determine ke, else it would contain elements of debt. If you are given an asset beta, you need to ungear it using equity/debt ratios
Is that what you are asking?
