    Sir John.
    This qustn is related to past paper.
    I’m little bit confused to calculate the profitability index.
    I am calculate by this formula
    npv/initial investment.
    Data:
    Projects Initial investment NPV
    ($000) ($000)
    A. 2500 1000
    B. 2200 1550
    C. 2600 1350
    D. 1900. 1500
    E 5000. 0

    My ans for project A is 1000/2500=0.4
    But examiner ans is 1.4, which ans is correct??

    The profitability index can be stated either way – sometimes the examiner does it one way and sometimes the other.
    You can either have NPV/investment or PV of inflows/investment (the second way will always give the same as the first way plus 1; e.g. 0.4 + 1 = 1.4)

    The ranking and therefore the final answer will be the same whichever way you write it.
