This document discusses the profitability index (PI) and provides an illustration of how to calculate PI for a project. The illustration is of a project with an initial outlay of Rs. 100,000 that generates cash inflows of Rs. 50,000, 40,000, 30,000 and 20,000 over the last four years. Using a discount rate of 10%, the present value of the cash inflows is calculated to be Rs. 114,680. The PI is then the present value of cash inflows divided by the initial investment, which for this project would be 1.1468.

The initial outlay of the project is
Rs. 1,00,000 and it generates cash inflows of Rs. 50,000, Rs. 40,000, Rs. 30,000 and Rs. 20,000 in the last four years of its lifespan. You are required to calculate PI of the project assuming 10% rate of discount. Profitability Index: Illustration
