The unlevered cost of equity is 0.21(given)

This means if the proxy firm had been unlevered, its Beta would have been 0.21 reflecting pure business risk of the company.

The formula for levered beta is

Beta levered = Beta unlevered [1+debt/equity (1-tax)]

=0.21[1+0.02(1-0.40)]

=0.21*1.0120

=.2125
