I understand the formula would be .90*(1+(1-.36)(X)…I’m having a hard time finding what X is. Thank you very much. rsparksParticipant CFA Level 2 15 Mar 2018 at 3:28 am Up3:: You nearly have it. you need to find the asset beta. when d/d+e = .4 for every dollar .4 = d, which means .6 = e Asset B= .9 [1+ (1-.36)(.4/.6)] = 1.28 i believe you were taking .4/1.4 instead of .4/.6 hope this helps, Ron AasimParticipant CFA Level 1 15 Mar 2018 at 9:16 am Up0:: Thank you very much rSparks!
