Acknowledging the difference between Internal Rate of Return and Required Rate of Return To split out the risk of a project by variables used in a model through the application of a sensitivity analysis. 4- You are considering buying one of two reasonably leveraged real estate investments. Investment A shows a 10% IRR. Investment B, with slightly higher leverage, shows a 13% IRR. Which do you buy?
