    Projects A, B, C, D and E should be accepted

    Explanation:

    Based on the fact that each of the itemized projects has the same of level of risk as the company's existing assets, we suggest that the firm undertake those projects that gives a return rate which is above the current weighted average cost of capital of 10.5%

    In essence, projects A, B, C, D and E should be accepted as they 12%,11.5%,11.2%,11% and 10.7% returns on investment respectively.

    Projects F& G would be rejected on the premise that their rates of return are lower than what is currently obtainable in Midwest Water Works.
