Answer:

The un levered beta ( bu) of the company is 1.52

Explanation:

Given information -

Equity  (E) - $20 million

Debt (D) - $5 million

Beta ( levered ) - 1.75

Tax rate ( T ) = 40%

D / E ( Debt to Equity ratio ) = $ 5 million / $20 million = .25

Formula for taking out un levered beta ( bu) is -

Beta levered ( bl ) = Beta un levered ( bu ) [1 + (1 - T ) D / E ]

1.75 = bu [1 + (1 - 40% ) .25

1.75 = bu [1 + .6 x .25 ]

1.75 = bu [ 1 + .15 ]

1.75 = bu [ 1.15 ]

bu = 1.75 / 1.15

bu = 1.52

Answer: b.Give more specific information, including dates and names.

Explanation:

The things that are needed to be changed in order to make the message appropriate for both the supervisor and the legal team is to give more specific information, including dates and names.

One doesn't need to show more outrage or use a friendly tone. This is a professional settings and a serious issue hence, a friendly tone should not be used. Rather, the person should give more information such as the name of the worker, the date that it occured and possibly the time as this will be of immense benefit to the legal team which will be used in following up on the issue.
