Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cost of capital for a firm in a tax-free environment is indeed equal to the market value weighted average of the return on equity and the return on debt (I), equal to the rate of return for that business risk class (II), and equal to the overall rate of return required on the levered firm (III). These statements collectively describe how the cost of capital is determined by considering both the debt and equity components, the risk associated with the business, and the required return for the leveraged firm.
