Which of the following statements is correct?
A) Because we often need to make comparisons among firms that are in different income tax brackets, it is best to calculate the WACC on a before-tax basis.
B) If a firm has been suffering accounting losses and is expected to continue suffering such losses (and we then assume that its tax rate going forward is zero), it is possible that its after-tax component cost of preferred stock as used to calculate the WACC will be less than its after-tax component cost of debt.
C) Due to the way the MCC is constructed, the first break point in the MCC schedule must be associated with using up all available retained earnings and having to issue common stock.
