All of Division A's projects are equally risky, as are all of Division B's projects. However, the projects of Division A are less risky than those of Division B. Which of the following projects should the firm accept?
a. A Division B project with a 13% return. b. A Division B project with a 12% return. c. A Division A project with an 11% return. d. A Division A project with a 9% return. why?Explanation / Answer
The correct answer is b. A Division B project with a 12% return
