Question 18. Suppose Acme Industries correctly estimates its WACC at a given point in time and then<br />
uses that same cost of capital to evaluate all projects for the next 10 years, then the firm will most likely<br />
become riskier over time, but its intrinsic value will be maximized.<br />
become less risky over time, and this will maximize its intrinsic value.<br />
accept too many low-risk projects and too few high-risk projects.<br />
become more risky and also have an increasing WACC.<br />
Its intrinsic value will not be maximized.<br />
continue as before, because there is no reason to expect its risk position or value to change over time as<br />
a result of its use of a single cost of capital.<br />
