Yenki Ltd. is considering two mutually exclusive projects A and B. Project A costs
Rs. 30,000 and Project B Rs. 36,000. The NPV probability distribution for each project is
as given below :
Project A Project B
NPV Estimate Probability NPV Estimate Probability
Rs. 3,000 0.1 Rs. 3,000 0.2
6,000 0.4 6,000 0.3
12,000 0.4 12,000 0.3
15,000 0.1 15,000 0.2
You are required to compute:
i) the expected Net Present Value of Projects A and B.
ii) The risk attached to each project i.e., Standard deviation of each probability distribution.
iii) The Profitability Index of each project.
Which project do you consider more risky and why?
