-Which of the following statements is TRUE?

• B) We use the market value of a firm's net debt when computing its WACC and unlevered beta to measure the cost of capital and market risk of the firm's business assets.
• C) Since the WACC does not change with the use of leverage, the value of a 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.
