Dyson Inc. currently finances with 2 0 . 0 % debt ( i . e . , w d = 2 0 % ) ,

Dyson Inc. currently finances with 20.0% debt (i.e.,wd=20%), but its new CFO is considering changing the capital structure so wd=72.0% by issuing additional bonds and using the
proceeds to repurchase and retire common shares so the percentage of common equity in the capital structure (wc)=1-wd. Given the data shown below, by how much would this
recapitalization change the firm's cost of equity? Do not round your intermediate calculations. (Hint: You must unlever the current beta and then use the unlevered beta to solve the
problem.)
a.11.44%
b.10.75%
c.12.03%
d.11.56%
e.11.65%
