The Basics of Capital Budgeting: Evaluating Cash Flows Please respond to the following:
Elaborate on why the net present value (NPV) of a relatively long-term project is more sensitive to changes in the cost of capital than is the NPV of a short-term project. Provide two (2) examples of NPV that support your position.

Determine whether or not changes in the cost of capital could ever cause a change in the internal rate of return (IRR) ranking of two (2) such projects. Provide an example of such a changeor the lack of oneto support your position
