Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements is false?

• C) Since the WACC does not change with the use of leverage, the value of the firm's free cash flow evaluated using the WACC does not change, and so the enterprise value of the firm does not depend on its financing choices.
• D) Even if the firm's capital structure is more complex, the WACC is calculated by computing the weighted average cost of only the firm's debt and equity.
