b. Which project(s) should be accepted if they are independent?

c. Which project(s) should be accepted if they are mutually exclusive?

d. How might a change in the WACC produce a conflict between the NPV and IRR rankings of the two projects? Would there be a conflict if WACC were 5%?

e. Why does the conflict exist?
