A project has an initial cost of $69,125, expected net cash inflows of $15,000 per year for 8 years, and a cost of capital of 12%. What is the project's PI? Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Profitability Index(PI) =Present value of expected cash flows (PV) / initial cost of a project (CF0).
Cost of Capital = 12% = 0.12
Now first we calculate PV of cash inflows.
PV = N=01 ? ( CF t / (1 + cost of capital) t )
Putting values in this formula, we have
=15000/( ( 1 + 0.12) 1) + 15000/ ( (1 + 0.12)2)+15000/((1 + 0.12)3) + 15000/((1 + 0.12) 4) + 15000/((1 + 0.12) 5) + 15000/((1 + 0.12) 6 )+15000/((1 + 0.12) 7) + 15000/((1 + 0.12) 8)
= $ 74514.5965
Initial Cost = $ 69125
Profitability Index PI = $ 74514.5965 / $ 69125 = 1.0779
PI = 1.08
