You are deciding between two mutually exclusive investment opportunities. Both require the same initial investment of $ 10 million. Investment A will generate $ 2.4 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 4.5 % 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 6.4 %. At what cost of capital would your decision change?

Identify which of the twelve basic functions listed below fit the description given.

Agood for which demand increases as income rises is and a good for which demand increases as income falls is
