You are deciding between two mutually exclusive investment opportunities. Both requife the same initial investment of $10 million. Investment A will generate $2.3 million per year (starting at the end of the first year) in perpetuity. Investment B will generate $1.8 million at the end of the first year, and its revenues will grow at 3.3% per year for every year after that. Use the incremental IRR rule to correctly choose between investments A and B when the cost of capital is 7.2%. At what cost of capital would your decision change?
