Which of the following statements is correct?

The bond-yield-plus-risk-premium approach to estimating the cost of common equity involves adding a risk premium to the interest rate on the company’s own long-term bonds. Empirical work suggests that the risk premium over a firm’s own bond yield has generally ranged from 5 to 10 percentage points, with recent values close to 5%.


The WACC is calculated using a before-tax cost for debt equal to the interest rate that must be paid on new debt, along with the before-tax costs for common stock and for preferred stock if it is used.


The WACC can change depending on the amount of funds a firm raises during a given year. Moreover, the WACC at each level of funds raised is a weighted average of the marginal costs of each capital component, with the weights based on the firm’s target capital structure. 


A decrease in the risk-free rate is likely to increase the marginal costs of both debt and equity.
