Walsh Company is considering three independent projects, each of which requires a $4 million investment. The estimated internal rate of return (IRR) and cost of capital for these projects are presented here: Project H (high risk): Cost of capital = 16% IRR = 18% Project M (medium risk): Cost of capital = 13% IRR = 12% Project L (low risk): Cost of capital = 7% IRR = 10% Note that the projects' costs of capital vary because the projects have different levels of risk.
