Consider the two mutually exclusive investment projects A and B: Cash Flows Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 3,000 10,000 Project A -2,000 Project B -5,000 2,000 (a) Verify that (yearly) Internal Rate of Return for Projects A and B are approximately 82.2% and 41.4%. (b) Suppose the cost of capital (the interest rate that you can borrow or invest) is 10% p.a. for both projects. Which project would you choose? What is the implication for decision rule in project appraisal by using Internal Rate of Return method?
