NPV measures the return a project generates against the costs borne to generate them, while also considering Time Value of Money. Whereas IRR measures returns alone and is hence seen as a myopic metric. NPV will be positive only when the IRR>WACC (i.e. the returns are more than the costs). The concept of IRR being greater than WACC is also called 'Positive EVA'.
Needless to say, a project must be selected when NPV > 0!
When choosing between projects, the spread between IRR & WACC will determine the financial feasibility ...the higher the better.

A corporation should generally not ration its capital if its projects consistently earn more than the cost of capital, as this indicates that the projects are creating value and contributing positively to shareholder wealth. Rationing capital in such scenarios could lead to missed growth opportunities and reduced overall profitability. However, if there are constraints on available funding or if the corporation anticipates better investment opportunities in the future, it might consider rationing as a strategic choice. Ultimately, the decision should align with the company's long-term financial goals and market conditions.
Companies may want to implement capital rationing in situations where past returns of investment were lower than expected. For example, suppose ABC Corp. has a cost of capital of 10% but that the company has undertaken too many projects, many of which are incomplete. This causes the company's actual return on investment to drop well below the 10% level. As a result, management decides to place a cap on the number of new projects by raising the cost of capital for these new projects to 15%. Starting fewer new projects would give the company more time and resources to complete existing projects.
_I_t means that it is better to deal with a difficult person or situation one knows than with a new person or situation that could be worse.
In case of cost..drum brake is better than disc brake.
nearly all
Well, wartime diets are better than ours today as they didn't have fast food, didn't over eat because of rationing and because they grew their own produce which was mostly vegetables, so they ate a lot of that.
no. it means physical punishment. basically torture.

Whether fractions work better than decimals or less as well is very much a question of your preference.
