in the open tuition notes, for chapter 21(CAPM n MM combined) Eg:2 (page 115), we calculate the discount rate/project specific discount rate by ungearing the B of a similar company via the asset B formula…
However i remember seeing a LSBF lecture where we ungeared the B of the similar company then and then re-geared it back for our company using that answer.. This value (regeared) was then used in the CAPM formula to give the project specific discount rate.. WHAT AM I MISSING?June 4, 2012 at 1:44 pm #99148Difference arises b/w LSBf and OT becoz,
Here the question stated that they finance the project fully via Equity. not debt and equity. if this is the case then debt is not involved which means no financial risk, which suggest that no regearing is required.
U need to regear the beta(with our co’s details) only wen u finance thru debt.June 4, 2012 at 4:00 pm #99149@safreena said:
