i am confused about asset beta and equity beta calculation..
i saw lecture and the steps i followed was to un geared asset beta of webb co which gave me answer of 1.28 (80/100*1.6) assume that tax rate is only for combined entity only as mentioned in question.
then i calculated equity beta which turned out to be 450/500*Be=1.28
Be=1.42and then Ke =.03+1.42(.058-.03)=.811
then WACC calculated = 450/500*.811+50/500*.05*.7=.7335
so cash flow of combined will be discounted at this rate or im totally wrong in my concept and i need to follow kaplan…
free cash flow of webb co
10m/.7335=13.63jcbacca

Hi, dont have time to truly try to understand your question. But judging from the answer using CAPM you may have put in the numbers incorrectly in the calculator. 81% should not be returned from that. Answer should be below 8% = 0.08
Even if it was correct, this is an extremely high cost and in practice i dont think it will be sustainable.
