    I don’t understand what you are writing.

    The asset beta measures the risk of the business. The equity beta measures the risk of the shares – gearing in the company makes the shares more risky.

    This is all explained in my free lectures on CAPM.

    as answer mentioned” probably due to Nuvola Co’s higher business risk (reflected by the higher asset beta), overall the benefits from growth in excess of the risk-free rate”

    which excess the risk-free rate but not cost of capital?

    The examiner has not worded it very well. Ignore “in excess of the risk free rate”.

    The company is more risky, but the benefit of higher growth and the synergy mean the value has increased.
