Measuring Betas
The SML shows the relationship between
return and risk.
CAPM uses Beta as a proxy for risk.
Beta is the slope of the SML, using CAPM
terminology.
Other methods can be employed to determine
the slope of the SML and thus Beta.
Regression analysis can be used to find Beta.

Capital Budgeting & Risk
Modify CAPM
(account for proper risk)
• Use COC unique to project,
rather than Company COC
• Take into account Capital Structure

Company Cost of Capital
9- 16
simple approach
Company Cost of Capital (COC) is based on
the average beta of the assets.
The average Beta of the assets is based on the
% of funds in each asset.

simple approach
Company Cost of Capital (COC) is based on the average beta of the
assets.
The average Beta of the assets is based on the % of funds in each
asset.
Example
1/3 New Ventures B=2.0
1/3 Expand existing business B=1.3
1/3 Plant efficiency B=0.6
AVG B of assets = 1.3

Capital Structure
Capital Structure - the mix of debt & equity within a company
Expand CAPM to include CS
R = r f + B ( rm - r f )
becomes
Requity = rf + B ( rm - rf )
