If a firm's WACC is minimized at a Debt-to-Value (D/V) ratio of 40%, what can be inferred about the firm's Enterprise Value at this specific point?

  1. The Enterprise Value is at its lowest point because the firm has taken on excessive financial risk here.
  2. The Enterprise Value is maximized because the discount rate for its cash flows is at its lowest possible level.
  3. The Enterprise Value stays completely independent of the WACC according to Modigliani-Miller's Proposition I here.
  4. The Enterprise Value simply equals the recorded historical book value of the firm's total assets on its own balance sheet.
