If EPC were to use a single corporate wide WACC for determining it's investment strategies it would cause a reduction in shareholder value and would lead to missed opportunities. Also, it would cause the team to be more focused on short team projects as opposed to both short and long term projects. This would, in the long run, be detrimental to the company.
