Answer: Profitability index(PI statistic) = 1.43

Explanation:

Profitability index otherwise known as PI statistic measures the ratios of cash flows of a project to the initial investment. It is used to measure whether a project is profitable or not.

Profitability index = (present value of future cash flows)/investments

PV = 370/(1.07)^1 + 500/(1.07)^2 + 670/(1.07) + 320/(1.07)^4 + 120/(1.07)^5

PV of cash flows = 1569.1181436    

Profitability index(PI statistic) = 1569.1181436/1100 = 1.426471039

Profitability index(PI statistic) = 1.43
