b.The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) approach is typically used to estimate a firm's flotation cost adjustment factor, and this factor is added to the discounted cash flow (DCF) cost estimate.

c.The beta coefficient used in the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) approach is the same as the growth rate used in the discounted cash flow (DCF) method.

d.The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) approach and the discounted cash flow (DCF) approach always result in exactly the same estimate for r.

e.The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) approach assumes investors are well diversified and the discounted cash flow (DCF) approach assumes constant growth rate.
