Romage current business = property + manufacturing Romage wants to split: property only Manufacturing only the business risk of property + Manufacturing will not be the same as business risk of property only or manufacturing only. the Beta assets will be different, capital structure also likely to change (so financial risk will change). so have to recalculate Ke (ungearing and regearing) and a risk adjusted WACC.

if the gearing of the Manufacturing and property sales is similar to industry average than there is no need to degear or regear betas of the sectors, use the industry average betas . and calculate cost of equity. if gearing is not similar to industry average than degear and regear betas and use the beta to calculate cost of equity than WACC.

Mohammad: Although what you say is obviously correct - I have no idea why you have posted it here! It is not what was being asked (and you are not the tutor anyway - this is the Ask the Tutor forum :-) )
