0 / 1 pts Your firm has a potential project that will cost $5,000 now to begin. The project will then generate after-tax cash flows of $900 at the end of the next three years and then $1400 per year for the three years after that. If the discount rate is 8% then what is the PI

PI=103.67%

Explanation:

Calculation for PI

To calculate PI (PROFITABILITY INDEX) the first step is to calculate the NPV ( Net present value) using Financial calculator by following the below step

CF0= -$5,000

C01=$900

FO1=3years

CO2= $1,400

FO2=3 years

NPV=?

I=8%

The next step is to enter the down arrow Cpt

Hence,

NPV = $183.48

Since we have know the NPV Now let calculate the PI using this formula

PI=(NPV+Potential project)/Potential project

Let plug in the formula

PI= ($183.48+$5,000)/$5,000

PI=$5,183.48/$5,000

PI= 1.03669*100

PI=103.67%

Therefore the PI will be 103.67%

in 2001, dell computer became the world’s largest personal computer vendor, continuing to

gain market share and post profits in an industry struggling with slumping sales and billions of

dollars in losses. dell sells 90% of its pcs directly to the final customer, largely bypassing the

reseller channel that accounts for most of the world’s pc sales. this direct customer relationship

is the key to dell’s business model, and provides distinct advantages over the indirect sales

model. dell’s direct relationship with the customer allows it to tailor its offerings to customer

needs, offer add-on products and services, and use the internet to offer a variety of customer

services. in addition, dell’s pcs are built to customers’ specifications upon receipt of an order,

giving dell additional advantages over indirect pc vendors who must try to forecast demand and

ship products based on those forecasts. dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has achieved

superior performance in the pc industry in terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash

conversion, and return on investment (kraemer, et al., 2000).
