A firm's cost of capital (WACC) represents the maximum rate of return that a firm can earn from its capital budgeting projects to ensure that the value of the firm does not decrease.

Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)


False

The cost of capital is used in the capital budgeting process so that a firm makes correct accept/reject decisions and so that its level of financing is optimal. If it uses any other rate, its capital budget will not be optimal. The WACC represents the minimum rate of return the firm must earn on the investments it purchases; it is the firm’s required rate of return because it is the return investors demand (require) to provide the funds the firm invests. See 11-3: Combining the MCC and Investment Opportunity Schedules (IOS)
