Assume that the beta of an all equity firm is 1.0, that the risk-free rate is 4 percent, and that the firm's required rate of return (using CAPM) is 10 percent. If the firm changes its capital structure to 25% debt and 75% equity, where the yield (cost) of debt is 6%, and if the tax rate is 40%, then determine what the new required rate of return on the firm's newly levered equity will be, based on CAPM. (You may assume that the beta for debt is zero.)
