question 13

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements is correct?

• B) The cost of retained earnings is generally higher than the cost of new common stock.
• C) Preferred stock is riskier to investors than is debt.Therefore,if someone told you that the market rates showed r_d > r_ps for a given company,that person must have made a mistake.
• D) When the MCC schedule is developed,the first break point always occurs as a result of using up retained earnings.
• E) If a company with a debt-to-assets ratio of 50 percent were suddenly exempted from all future income taxes,then,all other things held constant,this would cause its WACC to increase.
