    The current cost of equity is 14% and therefore using the ordinary CAPM formula ‘backwards’ gives an equity beta of (14 – 4.5) / 4 = 2.375

    To get the asset beta, we use the asset beta formula, and the asset beta =

    (50 / (50 + (50 x 0.75)) x 2.375 = 1.357

    Therefore the ungeared cost of equity = 4.5 + 1.357 x 4 = 9.928%

    The slight difference is purely due to rounding and one would use 10% anyway.

    We are using the total market values of Haizum.

    Equity is 15M shares x $2.53 = $37.95M
    Debt is $40M x 94.88/100 = $37.95M

    Use these value is you want, but it is the same as 50:50

    Because it is an APV question, the flows are calculated at the cost of equity as if it were all equity financed. If all equity financed then the equity beta will be the same as the asset beta.
