| DonAnd | Huh? I thought it was D-the profitability index?? |
| poomie83 | PI is only used NPV is determined. The decision to undertake a project is at the NPV level - positive NPV indicates cash inflows which influences share price thereby affecting stockholder wealth |
| thekobe | dollar terms is the key |
| davcer | Only npv is in dollar terms |
| ascruggs92 | PI is the PV of 1 dollar invested in said project. It's useful but required NPV to be calculated, making NPV more useful. |
I am happy to say that I passed! Your study notes certainly helped prepare me for what was the most difficult exam I had ever taken.
