Flotation costs associated with issuing new common stock normally reduce the WACC. c. An increase in the risk-free rate will normally lower the marginal costs of both debt and equity financing. d.

- Which of the following statements is CORRECT? * A company can use its retained earnings without incurring a flotation cost. As a O result, while the cost of retained earnings is not zero, it is usually less expensive than the after-tax cost of debt. The capital structure that minimizes a company's weighted average cost of capital often maximizes its stock price. The capital structure that minimizes the firm's weighted average cost of capital often maximizes its earnings per share. If everything else is stable, and corporate tax rates drops, the Modigliani-Miller tax- adjusted tradeoff principle implies that companies should expand their use of debt. When a corporation learns that the cost of debt is less than the cost of equity, rising the debt ratio would lower the WACC.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is/are true? O In the case of flat-rate write-offs on receivables, the sales tax must also be corrected. All deposits are income effective. O If a company's profit is to be reported as high, administrative costs are taken into account when determining the production costs.
