Smaltz Enterprises is currently involved in its annual review of the firm's cost of capital. Historically, the firm has relied on the CAPM to estimate its cost of equity capital. The firm estimates that its equity beta is 1.25, and the yiled to maturity on long-term US Treasury bonds is 4.28%. The firm's CFO is currently in a debate with one of the firm's advisers at its investment bank about the level of the market risk premium.
