When two mutually exclusive projects are being compared, explain why the short-term project might be ranged higher under the NVP criterion if the cost of the capital is high, whereas the long-term project might be deemed better if the cost of capital is low. Would changes in the cost of capital ever cause a change in the IRR ranking of two such projects? Why or why not?
