A project has an initial outlay of $3,451. It has a single payoff at the end of year 6 of $8,155. What is the profitability index (PI) of the project, if the company’s cost of capital is 6.89 percent?
Round the answer to two decimal places.
how do i do this in excel? What formula do i use?
PI=PV of Inflows/Initial Outflow
The cost of capital=6.89%
In excel this can be computed using the =NPV() function.
The formula used =NPV(6.89%,B3:B8)/-B2 We get PI=1.58
