    1.25

    Explanation:

    The Capital Asset Pricing model will be used

    ße = ßa * [Ve + Vd (1 - T) ] / Ve

    Here

    ße = 1.08

    Ve = Value of equity $50 million

    Vd = Value of debt $10 million

    T is tax rate which is 21%.

    By putting the values, we have:

    ße = 1.08 * [50 + 10 (1 - 21%) ] / 50

    ße = 1.25

    The beta equity of Chocolate Cookie is 1.25 which shows higher risk than average risk.
