Analysis behind how much does EV change if WACC changes by 1%?

The following was asked in one of the interview for an anlayst position
Question; How much does EV change if WACC changes by 1%?

What is the analysis behind the answer?

I would say, that absolute amount change of EV, will depend on the
- Cash flow amounts
- WACC original point=> if WACC is changing from 12-13%, then the EV change should be less than if WACC is changing from 5-6%
- Will also discuss the Inverse relationship between EV and WACC
-However, if all cash flows are negative, there is a direct relationship, the greater the WACC, the greater the Value

Any additional thoughts?
