6,160 | 6,570 | |||
4 |
2,020 | 6,570 |
The cost of capital for both projects is 10 percent.
Calculate the profitability index (PI) for each project. (Do not round discount factors. Round intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25 and final answer to 4 decimal places, e.g. 1.2527.)
The PI for project X is enter the profitability index for project X rounded to 4 decimal places and the PI for project Y is enter the profitability index for project Y rounded to 4 decimal places . |
