• B) The WACC incorporates the benefit of the interest tax shield by using the firm's before-tax cost of capital for debt.
• C) When the market risk of the project is similar to the average market risk of the firm's investments, then its cost of capital is equivalent to the cost of capital for a portfolio of all of the firm's securities; that is, the project's cost of capital is equal to the firm's weighted average cost of capital (WACC).
