If the initial cost is $6,000 and the profitability index (PI) is 5.6, the present value (PV) of cash flows is ____________?

The formula for Profitability Index (PI) is:
PI=Present Value of Cash FlowsInitial CostPI = \frac{\text{Present Value of Cash Flows}}{\text{Initial Cost}}PI=Initial CostPresent Value of Cash Flows
So,
PV=PI×Initial CostPV = PI \times \text{Initial Cost}PV=PI×Initial Cost PV=5.6×6,000=33,600PV = 5.6 \times 6,000 = 33,600PV=5.6×6,000=33,600
Therefore, the present value of cash flows is 33,600.... Read More

If the initial cost is $6,000 and the profitability index (PI) is 5.6, the present value (PV) of cash flows is ____________?

  • 25,000
  • 28,000
  • 33,600
  • 30,000
Correct Answer: C. 33,600

Detailed Explanation

The formula for Profitability Index (PI) is:


PI=Present Value of Cash FlowsInitial CostPI = \frac{\text{Present Value of Cash Flows}}{\text{Initial Cost}}PI=Initial CostPresent Value of Cash Flows


So,


PV=PI×Initial CostPV = PI \times \text{Initial Cost}PV=PI×Initial Cost PV=5.6×6,000=33,600PV = 5.6 \times 6,000 = 33,600PV=5.6×6,000=33,600


Therefore, the present value of cash flows is 33,600.
