How would you go about estimating the Net Present Value (NPV) of a college education by estimating the future earning with and without a college education. Please show an example.
What is the relationship between Net Present Value (NPV) and Profitability Index (PI)?
While taking any decision we will consider the relevant costs & income.
Here By going to colege, we will incur some & Will get some additional revenue ( Even if not gone to college he could earn some revenue).
Thus We receive salary as Income & Will incur College fees and will loose other revenue earning opportunity.
Thus The PV of revenue ( Salary) Must meet PV of College fees & PV of revenue foregone.
PV of College Education = [PV of Future cash flows with COllege education - PV of Cash Outflows for Education ] - [ PV of Cash flows without Education ]
PI = [PV of cash Outflows + NPV ] / PV of cash Outflows
Advicable if NPV > 0, PI > 1
Else advicable not to go college.
