Tasty Doughnuts has computed the net present value for capital expenditure at two locations. Relevant data related to the computation are as follows: Des Moines Cedar Rapids Total present value of net cash flow $712,500 $848,000 Amount to be invested (750,000) (800,000) Net present value $(37,500) $ 48,000 a. Determine the present value index for each proposal. Round your answers for the present value index to two decimal places.

0.95 and 1.06

Explanation:

The computation of the present value index is shown below:

Present value index = Present Value of net cash Flow ÷ Amount invested

So for each projects, it would be

Particulars                                         Des Moines             Cedar Rapids

Total present value of

net cash flow (A)                                  $712,500                $848,000

Amount invested (B)                            $750,000              $800,000

Present value index (A ÷ B)                   0.95                          1.06
