Dear Sir,
In this question, the names of the betas are not mentioned at all. when this is done we will always assume its equity beta? as in, we will assume the beta that they give us of the proxy company is always representing the business and financial risk?also why did they give us the equity beta of ATC, just to confuse the students?
thanksFebruary 24, 2021 at 1:13 pm #611541Please tell me which exam this question is from (I cannot remember the name of every past exam question 🙂 )
February 24, 2021 at 3:18 pm #611563It’s a sample paper from December 2010
Link on accas website for the question:

The question gives the betas for both companies not to confuse but to test that you know which beta is relevant for the exercise.
