a)
Equity beta = $0.80
Since the firm is all equity, No debt is involved and total equity = total assets
Hence, Equity beta = Asset beta = 0.80
Asset Beta = 0.80
b)
WACC = Cost of equity (No debt )
Cost of equity = Rf + beta * (Market risk premium)
Cost of equity = 2% + [0.80 * 7%]
Cost of equity = 7.60%
So, WACC = 7.60%
