It has three independent projects from which to choose, each of which requires a $6 million investment. These projects have different levels of risk, and therefore different costs of capital. Their projected IRRS and costs of capital are as follows: Project A: Cost of capital = 17%; IRR = 16% Project B: Cost of capital 12%; IRR = 9% Project C: Cost of capital = 7%; IRR = 8% Harris intends to maintain its 25% debt and 75% common equity capital structure, and its net income is expected to be $14,430,000.
