3. The future cost of debt is not one of the inputs in the process of estimating the firm valuation.

So the correct answer is option a.

4. If we are using free cash flow to the firm in the firm valuation model, the correct discount rate is weighted average cost of capital

So the correct answer is option d.
5. When using the firm valuation model, the present value of the cash flows from the end of the quick growth period to infinity is called terminal value
