Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the net present value and profitability index of each project is shown below;

The net present value

For the project 1

= Present value × PVIFA factor for 10 years at 9% - initial cost

= $70,000 × 6.4177  - $400,000

= $49,239

for the project 2

= Present value × PVIFA factor for 10 years at 9% - initial cost

= $55,000 × 6.4177  - $310,000

= $42,973.5

Now the profitability index is

For project 1

= ($70,000 × 6.4177) ÷ $400,000

= 1.12

And, for project 2

= ( $55,000 × 6.4177) ÷ $310,000

= 1.14
