View answer resolution

【Answer to question 1】C

【analysis】

C is correct. Note: 60% debt financing is equivalent to a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.50 = 0.60/(1 – 0.60).

Corporate Finance:WACC

【Answer to question 2】B

【analysis】

B is correct. The WACC does not necessarily increase as more funds are being raised. Higher amounts of funding would not change the WACC if everything were in proportion to the old target capital structure. It is the changes in relative proportions of sources of funding that could make a difference because of interest deductibility and financial risk.

A is incorrect. The debt incurrence test may restrict a company’s ability to incur additional debt at the same seniority based on financial tests or conditions. They will have to issue a less senior debt (or even equity) which would have higher cost.

C is incorrect. A company does not necessarily raise more funds according to its target capital structure because of the economies of scale in raising new capital and market conditions. These short-run deviations are due to the “lumpiness” of security issuance. The marginal cost of capital may increase, reflecting these deviations.
