find the profitablity index for the following series of cash flows assuming the company's cost of capital is 8.03 percent. the initial outlay is 361661
Cost of Capital | |
Initial Outlay | 486,488.00 |
Year 1 | 120,191.00 |
Year 2 | 161,639.00 |
Year 3 | 133,279.00 |
Year 4 | 130,393.00 |
Year 5 | 136,847.00 |
Solution:
The formula for calculating profitability index is
Profitability index = PV of cash inflow / Initial outlay
If this index is more than 1 then it means that project is viable and has positive NPV
Since here two initial outlay is given so I have calculated for both the initial outlays
Profitibility index is = 1.504767
Profitability index is 1.118661
