Emily Swanson · Answer 1

e. Project B, which is of below-average risk and has a return of 8.5%.

Explanation:

E is the only one that should be accepted. A and B both have returns that are too low considering their risk and should be rejected (which means C and d is out as an answer as well).

Is important to consider the condition where the return should be higher than the WACC.
