As connoisseurs of elegant fast food cuisine, we are interested in making a bid for the Greens-to-Go restaurant division of SlurpCo, Inc. SlurpCo has three primary divisions, soft drinks, Major League football franchises, and the G to G restaurants.   Given the unique risk profiles for each of these divisions, it is imperative we estimate G to G's divisional beta to determine its fit into our company. Consider the following information:   Company Name Debt                Ratio Levered Equity   Beta Marginal Tax Rate Revenues ($ Mill) Parent Company 60% 0.95 40%   Greens to Go 65% ?? 40%             Burger Doodle 35% 0.75 35% 1.95  Southern Fried Taco 45% 1.25 30% 2.85  Buffet Pizza Company 40% 1.05 27% 0.75                                                                                                                              Estimate a levered equity beta for the Greens-to-Go division using the both the arithmetic and the weighted averages.
