The founder of HHI, Harry Harrison, made his fortune in the fast food business. He sold off part of his fast food empire, and purchased a professional hockey team. HHI's only assets are the hockey team, together with 50% of the outstanding shares of Harry's Hotdogs restaurant chain. Harry's Hotdogs (HDG) has a market capitalization of $838 million, and an enterprise value of $1.06 billion. After a little research, you find that the average asset beta of other fast food restaurant chains is 0.71. You also find that the debt of HHI and HDG is highly rated, and so you decide to estimate the beta of both firms' debt as zero.

Given this information, estimate the beta of HHI's investment in the hockey team. HHI's asset beta is 1.22 . (Round to two decimal places.) The hotdog equity beta is (Round to two decimal places.)
