Anton Wilkerson · Answer 1

The ones that should consider investing or accept the project is both Joe and Rich because even if Joe has a required return of 8.5 % and Rich demands for a return of 12.5 %, they can still accept the project as they have the capability of investing with the project that they are to accept.
