In most cases, the weighted average cost of capital should be used in project evaluation, NOT project-specific financing costs This month: accept project with IRR of 9% and is debt-financed at 8% Later this year: reject project with IRR of 12% that was to be equity financed at 15% This is not a value-maximizing strategy!
