Now, I have a clearer image of what is expected on my part. Thanks for your explanation and time. I am really gratefully to you as your explanations have been really concise.

Unfortunately, I do not have the answer to this question. I have gone multiple times through the BPP book looking for parts explaining the factors affecting the equity beta but there were none.

I apologise for what I am going to say but to what specific lecture are you referring at when you are saying the lectures explain everything with regard to the factors affecting the equity beta because I am a bit confused as I have been questioning whether I have misinterpreted the question.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I have watched them.
Actually, you are indeed right since the risk to a business is firm-specific. Since it is by removing this risk that we can calculate the asset beta.

But what I could not find in the lectures is exactly what factors affected a company’s equity beta apart from the gearing?

Because for the amount of marks that the question provided, is stating and explaining only the gearing factor enough?

I am very sorry for the trouble that the structure of my question may have caused you. Actually, what I wanted to know if we are taking about the riskiness of the business and the gearing of a company aren’t we talking about the same thing? Because the riskiness of a business is perceived by its debts, that it’s gearing?
