- 3. Calculate the
IRR for each project. - 4. If there is no capital-rationing constraint, which project should be selected? If there is a capital-rationing constraint, how should the decision be made?

Assume that you have two investment alternatives: the first project produces $125 for sure, and the second project produces $150 with probability 2/5. You can borrow $110 from your financial institution for one project (investment) if you show an asset as a collateral. Suppose that you maximize your expected profit, what would be the minimum level of collateral that make you select the safe project?
You are considering an investment in two normal cash flow and mutually exclusive projects. Project Apple
has an internal rate of return of 13.6%, while Project Brewster has an internal rate of return of 15.75%. At a
discount rate of 9.8% each project has the same net present value. If the appropriate weighted average cost
of capital is 9.25%, which project(s), if any, should be adopted? Explain your decision.
