0 / 1 pts Your firm has a potential project that will cost $5,000 now to begin. The project will then generate after-tax cash flows of $900 at the end of the next three years and then $1400 per year for the three years after that. If the discount rate is 8% then what is the PI

Answer:

PI=103.67%

Explanation:

Calculation for PI

To calculate PI (PROFITABILITY INDEX) the first step is to calculate the NPV ( Net present value) using Financial calculator by following the below step

CF0= -$5,000

C01=$900

FO1=3years

CO2= $1,400

FO2=3 years

NPV=?

I=8%

The next step is to enter the down arrow Cpt

Hence,

NPV = $183.48

Since we have know the NPV Now let calculate the PI using this formula

PI=(NPV+Potential project)/Potential project

Let plug in the formula

PI= ($183.48+$5,000)/$5,000

PI=$5,183.48/$5,000

PI= 1.03669*100

PI=103.67%

Therefore the PI will be 103.67%
