And can you also explain the sentence "The consequence of making the assumption that debt is risk free is that the formulae tend to overstate the financial risk in a geared company and to understate the business risk in geared and ungeared companies by a compensating amount" (formula for geared and ungeared betas)

I am sorry, but all of this is explained in detail in my free lectures. I cannot type out all the lectures here :-)
