It depends on whether we are valuing just the equity (in which case we discount the FCFE at the cost of equity, which is what the dividend valuation model is doing), or whether we are valuing the whole business (equity plus debt) in which case we discount the FCF at the WACC. I do explain this in my free lectures!!
