The usual practise is to give preferences to the investment projects with higher IRR and make a direct comparison of IRR against the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC).

investment projects with IRR < WACC should be rejected
investment projects with higher IRR should have a financing priority over the projects with lower IRR
