Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Explanation:

Option A is incorrect because the expected return must be greater than the marginal cost of the capital which means that the Net Present Value must be positive.

Option B is correct because the increase in cost of debt or capital would increase the weighted average cost of capital. This is because weighted average cost of capital is directly proportional to cost of capital sources.

Option C is incorrect because its not the cost of one of the capital sources, actually it is the weighted average cost of capital which when starts increasing at a point due to increase in the level of financing is known as breaking point.

So the only statement that is correct is option B.
