Answer:
weighted average cost of capital is minimized
Explanation:
Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) in accounting is the average rate of return a company is expected to compensate all its various investors by comparing its debt and equity structure.
The value of a firm is maximized when the weighted average cost of capital is minimized.
The formula to calculate the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is:
WACC = ((E ÷ V) x Re) + (((D ÷ V) x Rd) x (1 - T))
Where;
Re=Cost of equity
Rd=Cost of debt
E=Market value of equity
D=Market value of debt
T=Effective tax rate
V=Total market value of combined equity and debt
