Firm A and Firm B (not their real names) are competitors in the manufactured housing industry, so they often face the same investment opportunities. However, because Firm A is in better financial shape (and therefore less risky) than Firm B, its cost of financing is lower. Specifically, Firm A’s WACC is 11% while Firm B’s WACC is 15% Which of the following is/are true as a result of this?

You know, this is all very confusing. May I be excused?
Because Firm B is riskier, any project it undertakes will earn higher returns than if that same project were undertaken by Firm A.
If Firm A and Firm B are evaluating the same project, that project will be more valuable to Firm A than to Firm B due to Firm A’s lower required rate of return.
Firm A and Firm B have an equal opportunity of creating value since the value of a project is not dependent on the cost of funds used to finance it.
