选项:

B.Borrowing more funds.
C.Decreasing the outstanding debt.
解释:
C is correct.
考点:Summary of Capital Structure Theories
解析:现阶段公司的 WACC , 使用表格第二行数据,为 20%*5.5%*(1-30%) + 80%*10.0% = 8.77%;选项 A 和 选项 B,即当负债比例上升至 30%,权益比例下降到 70% 时,WACC 使用表格第三行数据,为 30%*6.0%*(1-30%) + 70%*10.5% = 8.61%,WACC 可以降低,所以不选 A 和 B。
计算出,随着debt的比例增加,wacc减少,所以不应该选择b吗?增加debt来减少wacc
