a-2. Project A has higher NPV.

b-1 . Profitability index for project A = NPV + Initial Investment/ Initial Investment

                                                                = 20.95 + $ 43 /$ 43 = 63.95/43 = 1.487209

        Profitability index for project B = NPV + Initial Investment/ Initial Investment

                                                                = 19.63 + $ 68 /$ 68 = 63.95/43 = 1.28868

b-2 Project A has higher Higher Profitability index.
