Suppose the Pacific Princess Luxury cruise line is contemplating leasing an additional cruise ship to expand service from the Hawaiian Islands to Long Beach or San Diego. A financial analysis by staff personnel resulted in the following projections for a five-year planning horizon:

A. Calculate the net present value for each service. Which is more desirable according to the NPV criterion?
B. Calculate the profitability index for each service. Which is more desirable according to the PI criterion?
C. Under what conditions would either or both of the services beundertaken?
