IRR cross-over rate is the rate at which the NPV of two projects is equal. To calculate the IRR cross-over rate, we can use the following formula:IRR cross-over rate = (Initial cost of Project A - Initial cost of Project B) / (Annual cash flow of Project B - Annual cash flow of Project A)Plugging in the values from the question, we get:IRR cross-over rate = (1,600 - 2,500) / (850 - 600) = 12.05%Therefore, the correct answer is A) 12.05%.
