To determine the risk of a company without debt, we need to un-lever the beta (i.e., remove the debt impact). To do this, look up the beta for a group of comparable companies within the same industry, un-lever each one, take the median of the set, and then re-lever it based ...
Unlevered Beta = 0.7 = 0.3 1 + 2 × (1 − 35%)Shah must re-lever this unlevered beta (also called asset beta) in accordance with the capital structure of BEA to find applicable equity beta, which in turn can be used in CAPM to find BEA's cost of equity....
After each comp’s de-levered beta is calculated, we can calculate the industry average de-levered beta, which comes out to 0.46. In the final step, we can now re-lever beta at the target capital structure. For purposes of simplicity, the marginal tax rate will be assumed to be the av...
To remove the effect of Company B's capital structure, you need to un-lever its beta coefficient using the following formula:Unlevered Beta of B = (Equity) Beta of B 1 + DEB× (1 - TB)Now, we need to adjust the un-levered beta we obtained above for the capital structure of ...
Monkeys were initially breastfed; from 1 to 3 months of age they were fed either a formula supplemented with lutein, zeaxanthin, β-carotene and lycopene, or a control formula with low levels of these carotenoids, for 4 months (n = 2/group). All samples were analyzed by high pressure ...
