While performing a DCF, an analyst observes that decreasing the Perpetuity Growth Rate (g) from 3.0% to 2.5% has a larger impact on valuation than increasing the WACC from 9.0% to 9.5%.

Which component is driving this sensitivity?

  1. The WACC of 9.0% is much higher than the Perpetuity Growth Rate itself
  2. The company generates very high near-term cash flows relative to total value
  3. The Exit Multiple Method, not the Perpetuity Growth Method, was used for Terminal Value
  4. The Terminal Value represents a very high percentage of the total Enterprise Value
