    a. What is Cisco's enterprise value?

    EV = E + D - C = 129 + 21 - 61 = $89 billion.

    b. Assuming Cisco's debt has a beta of zero, estimate the beta of Cisco's underlying business enterprise.

    The net debt is (21 - 61) = - 40.

    RU = (129/89) * 1.38 + (-40/89) * 0 = 2.00

    The beta of Cisco's underlying business enterprise is 2.
