You are analyzing the beta of Pewlett Hackard, an all equity firm with a 38% tax rate, and have broken down the company into four broad business groups, with market values and betas for each group:
Business Group Market Value Beta
Servers $ 2.0 billion 1.10
Personal Computers $ 2.0 billion 1.50
Software $ 1.0 billion 2.00
Printers $ 3.0 billion 1.00
(a) Estimate the beta for Pewlett Hackard as a company.
(b) If the Treasury bond rate is 3%, and the market risk premium is 5.7%, estimate the cost of equity for Hewlett Packard. Estimate the cost of equity for each division.
(c) Which cost of equity would you use to value a typical project in the printer division?
(d) How would Pewlett Hackard’s cost of equity change if it went from being 100% equity financed to 75% equity and 25% debt financed?
