Explanation / Answer

1. Cash outflow :    18,300/-

Cost of capital is 10 %

Present value of cash inflow: 10,600 .909     9,635      

                                                  9,500   .826     7,847

                                                  6,000    .751     4,508

Present value of cash inflow                              21,990/-

NPV                                                                   3,690/-

Profitability Index 21,990/ 18,300 = 1.20

Cost of capital is 15 %

Present value of cash inflow: 10,600 .8696     9,218     

                                                  9,500   .7561     7,183

                                                  6,000    .6575     3,945

Present value of cash inflow                              20,346/-

NPV                                                                   2,046/-

Profitability Index 20,346/ 18,300 = 1.11

Cost of capital is 22 %

Present value of cash inflow: 10,600 .8197     8,689    

                                                  9,500   .6719     6,383

                                                  6,000    .5507     3,304

Present value of cash inflow                              18,376/-

NPV                                                                   76/-

Profitability Index 18,376/ 18,300 = 1.00
