    A Division A project with an 11%

    Explanation:

    The project should be analize with the cost of capital for each division, as it is a know values it is a better choise than WACC.

    For that reason, going for project of less than 14% (13% or 11%) in division b will be destroying capital

    While the project in Division A for 11% means it will generate economic value to the firm as the cost is 10% and return 11%
