(Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 3 decimal places, (e. g. , 32. 161)) What is the profitability index for the set of cash flows if the relevant discount rate is 15 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 3 decimal places, (e. g. , 32. 161)) What is the profitability index for the set of cash flows if the relevant discount rate is 22 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 3 decimal places, (e. g. , 32. 161))

Explanation / Answer

Hi, Please find the answer as follows: PV of Cash Inflows @ 10% = 10300/(1+.10) + 9200/(1+.10)^2 + 5700/(1+.10)^3 = 21249.44 PI = 21249.44/18000 = 1.181 PV of Cash Inflows @ 15% = 10300/(1+.15) + 9200/(1+.15)^2 + 5700/(1+.15)^3 = 19660.89 PI = 19660.89/18000 = 1.092 PV of Cash Inflows @ 22% = 10300/(1+.20) + 9200/(1+.20)^2 + 5700/(1+.20)^3 = 18270.83 PI = 18270.83/18000 = 1.015 Thanks
