Compute the project profitability index for each investment proposal. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) ProposalIndex 1.41 1.40 1.52 1.33 2. Rank the proposals in terms of preference. CABD BCAD O DCBA ABCD

Explanation / Answer

Profitability Index
= Present Value of Future Cash Flows / Initial Investment Required

PI of A = $11,21,300/$790,000=1.42

PI of B=
$168300/$120000=1.40

PI of C=$182000/$120000=1.52

PI of D=
$2427200/$1820000=1.33

Ranking of proposals in terms of preference is
1-C
2-A
3-B
4-D
