  • 16,000
  • 0.0064
  • 1,562.5
Correct Answer: B. 16,000

Detailed Explanation

The Profitability Index (PI) formula is:

So,


Present Value of Cash Flows=PI×Initial Cost\text{Present Value of Cash Flows} = PI \times \text{Initial Cost}Present Value of Cash Flows=PI×Initial Cost =3.2×5,000=16,000= 3.2 \times 5,000 = 16,000=3.2×5,000=16,000


Therefore, the present value of cash flows is $16,000.
