1. The cost of capital for two mutually exclusive projects that are being considered is 12%. Project K has an IRR of 20% while Project R's IRR is 15%. The projects have the same NPV at the 12% current cost of capital. Interest rates are currently high. However, you believe that money costs and thus your cost of capital will soon decline. You also think that the projects will not be funded until the cost of capital has decreased, and their cash flows will not be affected by the change in economic conditions.
