,1. Multiple Choice: Which of the following is not a
component of the Weighted Average Cost of Capital
(WACC)?
a) Cost of debt
b) Market risk premium
c) Cost of equity
d) Cost of preferred stock
Answer: b) Market risk premium
Rationale: The market risk premium is not a direct
component of WACC. WACC is calculated using the costs

and the market risk premium is part of the Capital Asset
Pricing Model (CAPM) used to determine the cost of equity.

required by investors to compensate for the risk of owning a
security.
Answer: Expected return
Rationale: The expected return is the return that investors
anticipate or demand for taking on the risk of investing in a
security. It is a fundamental concept in financial
management and valuation.

rate.

5. Multiple Choice: In the context of portfolio theory,
diversification is most effective in reducing:
a) Systematic risk
