    Hi

    the calculation in the answer assumes that Jupiter has debt of 13.65% and not 12%. i am puzzled
    my calc (29m /29m + (3480x.6))1.5 = 1.39925

    Book answer 1.3865…there are no rounding issues. As normal i must assume I have missed something, please help

    But the answer doesn’t assume debt of 13.65 anywhere!

    Debt is 12% and therefore equity is 88%

    Therefore the asset beta = 1.5 x (88 / (88 + (12 x 0.6))) = 1.3865

    of course, i took the 29m equity and took 12% of that as debt…it was quite close but not perfect

    It would be perfect if there was no rounding!!
