Answer #1

Profitability index is calculated by using the below formula:

Profitability Index= NPV + Initial investment/ Initial investment

Net present value can be solved using a financial calculator. The steps to solve on the financial calculator:

  • Press the CF button.
  • CF0= -$253,000. Indicate the initial cash flow by a negative sign since it is a cash outflow.  
  • Cash flow for each year should be entered.
  • Press Enter and down arrow after inputting each cash flow.
  • After entering the last cash flow cash flow, press the NPV button and enter the required return of 8.2%.
  • Press enter after that. Press the down arrow and CPT buttons to get the net present value.  

Net present value at 8.2% required return is $125,425.29.

Profitability Index= $125,425.29 + $253,000/ $253,000

                                    = $378,425.29/ $253,000

                                    = 1.4958   1.50
