Homework Answers

Answer #1

The profitability index is defined as the PV of the cash inflows divided by the PV of the cash outflows.

(a) The equation for the profitability index at a required return of 11 percent is:

PI = ($3,800 / 1.11 + $4,600 / 1.112 + $5,000 / 1.113) / $9,700 = 1.115

(b) The equation for the profitability index at a required return of 16 percent is:

PI = ($3,800 / 1.16 + $4,600 / 1.162 + $5,000 / 1.163) / $9,700 = 1.020

(c) The equation for the profitability index at a required return of 21 percent is:

PI = ($3,800 / 1.21 + $4,600 / 1.212 + $5,000 / 1.213) / $9,700 = 0.939
