Let's say that your old projects actually had a (total) asset beta of 1.66 (meaning you should ignore any and all related project/asset beta information or calculations from question 1). You are considering investing in a new project that has a beta of 1.32 and will make up 70% of the firm's total investments after the project is selected (that means it will reduce the prior projects proportionally to make up the remaining percentage of the total firm, just like if you added a new stock to a portfolio). What would the firm's new asset beta be? Round your answer to three decimal places. Let's say that you found a new asset beta of 0.858. What would the firm's new levered equity beta be? Round your answer to three decimal places.
