Directions: In a word document work out the financial problems below. To earn full credit you must show all your calculations. 1. Calculate the Profitability index of a capital project. The initial investment is $250,000 for the purchase of some new radiology equipment. The new equipment will save the organization $15,000 a year for the next 10 years. The project discount rate is 12%. Determine the present value of the operating savings: Present value of saving = savings per year X discounted rate Determine the net present value (NPV) Pay close attention here, this is where basic mathematical functions need to follow financial accounting theory. Hence, if we have a positive value for the present value of savings, we cannot have a negative NPV. We started with an initial investment amount, so start there are subtract your net present value from that amount to determine your NPV. NPV=present value of savings initial investment Determine the profitability index Profitability Index = NPV/initial investment
