2 | 5,960 | 6,370 | |||
3 | 6,460 | 6,370 | |||
4 | 1,920 | 6,370 |
The cost of capital for both projects is 10 percent.
Calculate the profitability index (PI) for each project.
(Do not round discount factors. Round intermediate
calculations to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25 and final answer to 4
decimal places, e.g. 1.2527.)
