After implementing the proposal,
Coeden Co, asset beta estimate
1.1 × 0.5/(0.5 + 0.5 × 0.8) = 0.61
After implementing the proposal wouldn’t the market value of debt decrease to $12.8m, instead of staying at $42.3m?
And since the market value of equity is still $42.7m, how can the ratio of 50:50 be used in the asset beta calculation?
The asset beta is not affected by changes in the gearing. The equity beta will change, but the asset beta will remain the same.
Thank you for the explanation!!
You are welcome 🙂
