Investment appraisal
The profitability index of a project or other proposed investment may be represented by the following formula:
Profitability index = PV/Co
Where:
PV = the present value of all the cashflows except the initial investment.
Co = the absolute value of the initial investment.
Calculated on this basis, projects with a PI > 1 are acceptable.
The profitability index is also sometimes known as the Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR).
Alternative definition
The profitability index may also be represented by the following alternative formula:
Profitability index = NPV/Co
Where:
NPV = net present value of all positive and negative cashflows, including the initial investment outflow Co
When defined on this alternative basis, the minimum threshold of acceptability becomes a profitability index of 0.
