· Bigger has a debt-to-equity ratio (leverage) of 2, the covariance of its equity return with the market return is 0.09.

· The riskfree rate is 0.03, the expected market return is 0.08 and the standard deviation of the market return is 0.2.

· The corporate tax rate is 0.4.

· Both Bigger and Tinyer are selling widgets, and you can assume that they have the same business risk.
