ABC Corporation and XYZ Corporation are both bidding for an existing food processing plant located in Monterrey, Mexico. Both firms are highly profitable and have similar debt ratios and costs of debt, but XYZ operates in a more volatile industry than ABC and thus has a higher beta. As ABC and XYZ separately prepare their valuations of the plant, what difference would you expect to see in the appropriate weighted-average cost of capital each firm will use to discount the projected cash flows from the plant?
