    Projects which has highest return shall be accepted.

    Assuming brad ford can take up to $40,000,000 at the rate of 11 % and more funds at 14 % cost of capital.

    Now we will calculate weighted average return for each combination

    For a and b = (30*18 + 10*16) / 40 = 17.5

    For second option

    (20*12 + 10*15 + 10*16) / 40 = 13.75

    So projects A and B shall be accepted
