Profitability index = Present value of cash flows / Initial investment
a. Profitability index = (3,600/1.08 + 3,500/1.08^2 + 4,000/1.08^3) / 7,800 = 1.219
b. Profitability index = (3,600/1.14 + 3,500/1.14^2 + 4,000/1.14^3) / 7,800 = 1.096
c. Profitability index = (3,600/1.25 + 3,500/1.25^2 + 4,000/1.25^3) / 7,800 = 0.919
