    Dear sir,
    When calculating Profitability index both these ways are acceptable right?

    1) NPV/ initial investment

    2)(NPV-initial investment)/intial investment

    Please do correct me if i’m wrong.
    thankyou

    What you have written is correct except that you should have written PV and not NPV in both cases.

    (PV – initial investment = NPV 🙂 )
