Answer:

PI for the first project = 1 + ($5,673.93 / 87,000) = 1.065

PI for the second project = 1 + ($5,561.23 / $55,000) = 1.101

b. the second project should be chosen because the PI is higher

NPV for 1 = $5,673.93

NPV for 2 =   $5,561.23

Explanation:

profitability index  = 1 + (NPV / Initial investment)

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

for the first project

Cash flow in year 0 = –$87,000

Cash flow in year 1 = 36,900

Cash flow in year 2 = 47,000

Cash flow in year 3 =  27,000

I = 10%

NPV = $5,673.93

for the second project

Cash flow in year 0 = –$55,000

Cash flow in year 1 = 11,700

Cash flow in year 2 =  34,500

Cash flow in year 3 = 28,500

I = 10%

NPV = $5,561.23  

PI for the first project = 1 + ($5,673.93 / 87,000) = 1.065

PI for the second project = 1 + ($5,561.23 / $55,000) = 1.101

b. the second project should be chosen because the PI is higher

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.  

3. Press compute

You come across a scientific study reported in the New York Times. The study says that adults who played varsity sports in high
dangina [55]

Answer:

There is no short answer.

Explanation:

We are given an article that presents a study that suggests adults who played varsity sports in high school have a 20% higher chance of earning a bachelor's degree in college than the ones who did not play during high school.

The outcome variable in this example, which is also the same as a dependent variable, is the chance of graduating from college with a bachelor's degree, which depends on whether that person played varsity sports during their high school years or not.

The treatment variable in this example, which is also the same as an independent variable, is whether the subject played varsity sports in high school or not which affects their chances of graduating from college with a bachelor's degree.

Counterfactual means thinking about an event in a way that did not actually happen, counter to the facts and it helps people feel more in control which in turn provides a psychological soothing effect. Counterfactual scenario in the given example for high school athletes would be not being able to earn a bachelor's degree despite having played sports in high school.

Thinking about the counterfactual scenario is important because it helps people get a sense of power and a feeling of control which is a primal instinct the brain needs to feel safe.

I hope this answer helps.
