Explanation:
Year Cash Flow PV Factor 10% PV of Cash flows
($) ($)
Year 1 180,000 0.909 163,620
Year 2 120,000 0.826 99,120
Year 3 100,000 0.751 75,100
Year 4 90,000 0.683 61,470
Year 5 90,000 0.621 55,890
Total = 455,200
Initial cash outflow = $400,000
Cash inflow = $455,200
So, we can calculate the present value index by using following formula,
Present value index = Cash inflow ÷ Cash outflow
= $455,200 ÷ $400,000
= 1.14
