Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

According to MM, without taxes, the market value of the company is not affected by capital structure. As a result, the WACC is unaffected by capital structure. Here, the value of a company is determined by cash flows.

In the case where there is tax, the value of a company with debt is greater than that of the same company without debt for the same level of income.
