Do you use debt beta when calculating cost opf capital

Hi guys,

do you use debt beta when calculating cost of equity/cost of capital? .

.

It seems that calculating debt beta using spread and the market risk premium is gaining popularity. But my question is rather whether you actually use this approach in the "real world".

Thanks.
