Homework Answers
We first compute the present value of cash inflows
Profitability Index = PV of inflow/ Initial investment
| Year | Alpha | Beta |
| 0 | -2100 | -3400 |
| 1 | 900 | 1700 |
| 2 | 1200 | 2900 |
| 3 | 1100 | 1400 |
| PV ofcash inflows | $2,636.36 | $4,993.99 |
| PI | 1.26 | 1.47 |
Project Beta should be accepted since it has higher PI
