The company's beta is currently 1.25 and its tax rate is 30%. Using the Hamada equation, find Tesla's unlevered beta. 2 Firms HD and L.D each has $30m in invested capital, $8m of EBIT, a tax rate of 25%. Firm HD has a D/E ratio of 50% with an interest rate of 8% on their debt. Firm D has a debt-to capital ratio of 30%, however, pays 9% interest on their debt. Calculate the following: a. Retum on invested capital for each firm b. Return on equity for each firm c. If HD's CFO is thinking of lowering the D/E from 50% to 40%, which will lower their interest rate further from 8% to 7%, calculate the new ROE for HD.
