Answer:
Based on the profitability index method, the investment should not be accepted.
It does not produce enough cash flows to justify the investment.
Explanation:
The profitability index method measures the present value of benefits for by dividing the present value of benefits by the present of initial investments.
The present value of initial investment in this project remains RM400,000. The present value of incremental annual cash flows of RM80,000 after taxes for 5 years will be equal to:
RM80,000 * 3.668 = RM293,440
Then the next step is to divide the present value of benefits by the initial investment as follows:
RM293,440/RM400,000 = 0.7336 = 73.36%
The implication is that the present value of the benefits is less than the initial investment costs. The project should then be rejected.
Answer: increase; decrease.

Arbitrage refers to buying and selling stocks, commodities, bonds, currencies, or any other type of security. This process is carried out simultaneously, and a profit is made when the purchase price is lower than the selling price. E.g. a trader that purchases gold from a European seller and immediately sells it to an Asian buyer at a slightly higher price.
As technology advances, arbitrage has become more difficult to carry out because information is available to everyone. Before, a company could purchase a good (e.g. beef) in Texas and sell it at a higher price to a buyer in New York.
