Answer #1

Present value of cash flow = 11,700 / (1 + 0.082)^1 + 12,300 / (1 + 0.082)^2 + 15,400 / (1 + 0.082)^3 + 9,900 / (1 + 0.082)^4

Present value of cash flows = 10,813.30869 + 10,506.31917 + 12,157.35052 + 7,223.141979

Present value of cash flows = 40,700.12036

Profitability index = Present value / cost at time 0

0.713 = 40,700.12036 / Cost at time 0

Cost at time 0 = $57,082.92
