| Answer: | |||
| Calculation of Profitability Index | |||
| Formula = | Present value of cash inflows | ||
| Initial cost | |||
| Initial cost = | 71975.00 | ||
| Year | Cash Inflows | Present value factor @ 10% | Present value of cash inflows |
| 1 | 14000.00 | 0.90909 | 12727.27 |
| 2 | 14000.00 | 0.82645 | 11570.25 |
| 3 | 14000.00 | 0.75131 | 10518.41 |
| 4 | 14000.00 | 0.68301 | 9562.19 |
| 5 | 14000.00 | 0.62092 | 8692.90 |
| 6 | 14000.00 | 0.56447 | 7902.64 |
| 7 | 14000.00 | 0.51316 | 7184.21 |
| 8 | 14000.00 | 0.46651 | 6531.10 |
| 9 | 14000.00 | 0.42410 | 5937.37 |
| 10 | 14000.00 | 0.38554 | 5397.61 |
| Total | 86,023.94 | ||
| Profitability Index = | Present value of cash inflows | ||
| Initial cost | |||
| Profitability Index = | 86023.94 | ||
| 71975.00 | |||
| Profitability Index = | 1.20 | (Answer) |
