Answer:

C) 0.66

Explanation:

Market capitalization = $4.5 billion

Total enterprise value = $8 billion

Total Debt = ($8 billion - $4.5 billion) = $3.5 billion

Weight of Equity =  $4.5 billion/$8 billion = 0.5625

Weight of debt = $3.5 billion / $8 billion = 0.4375

Beta of Debt = 0.10

Beta of Equity = 1.1

Asset Beta = 0.5625*1.1 + 0.4375*0.10

Asset Beta = 0.6625
