Barton Industries estimates its cost of common equity by using three approaches: the CAPM, the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach, and the DCF model. Barton expects next year's annual dividend, D1, to be $2.10 and it expects dividends to grow at a constant rate g = 4.4%. The firm's current common stock price, P0, is $25.00. The current risk-free rate, rRF, = 4.7%; the market risk premium, RPM, = 6.0%, and the firm's stock has a current beta, b, = 1.15. Assume that the firm's cost of debt, rd, is 11.00%. The firm uses a 3.0% risk premium when arriving at a ballpark estimate of its cost of equity using the bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach. What is the firm's cost of equity using each of these three approaches? Round your answers to two decimal places.

The LoLev Corporation's equity has a beta of 1.4. Its debt has a beta of 0.2. Its debt-to-value ratio is 30%. The HiLev Corporation's equity has a beta of 2. Its debt has a beta of zero. HiLev's debt-tovalue ratio is 40%. The riskfree rate is 8%, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 14%. Assuming the CAPM holds, and that there are no taxes or costs of financial distress, answer the following: a) LoLev is thinking of investing in the same line of business that HiLev is engaged in. What discount rate should it use? b) Now suppose the LoLev Corporation has decided to invest in HiLev's line of business. These projects now constitute 50% of the overall value of the LoLev's Corporation. Assuming that its debt-to-value ratio and the beta of its debt remain unchanged, calculate the new value of LoLev's equity beta.
