a-1
Project 1
PI= (NPV+initial inv.)/initial inv.
=(10155.52+55000)/55000
1.18



Project 2
PI= (NPV+initial inv.)/initial inv.
=(6756.72+29800)/29800

Discount rate	0.1
Year	0	1	2	3
Cash flow stream	-55000	26200	26200	26200
Discounting factor	1	1.1	1.21	1.331
Discounted cash flows project	-55000	23818.18	21652.89	19684.45
