Question

The management of Revco Products is exploring four different investment opportunities. Information on the four projects under study follows:

  

Project Number

  

Because the company’s required rate of return is 10%, a 10% discount rate has been used in the present value computations above. Limited funds are available for investment, so the company can’t accept all of the available projects.

  

Compute the project profitability index for each investment project. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

        

Rank the four projects according to preference, in terms of net present value, project profitability index and internal rate of return.

Explanation / Answer

1. Computation of the project profitability index :

Profitability Index = 1+( Net present Value/ Initial Investment Required)   

                                                       1                             2                               3                                    4

Net Present Value ($)          115,480                        86,754                     90,232                         117,200

Initial investment                 420,000                      370,000                      270,000                        390,000

Required($)

Project Profitability Index     1.27                             1.23                            1.33                            1.30
