Mutually exclusive project decision
• Mutually exclusive projects compete with other projects in such a way
that the acceptance of one will exclude the acceptance of the other
projects.
• Only one may be chosen. Mutually exclusive investment decisions
gain importance when more than one proposal is acceptable under
the accept / reject decision.
• The acceptance of the best alternative eliminates the other
alternatives.

Profitability index
Defines how much you will earn per Sh of investment.
The present value of an anticipated future cash flow divided by
initial outflow gives the profitability index (PI) of the project.
PI = PV cash inflows
Initial cash outlay
Since NPV equals the present value of cash flows minus initial
investment, we can write the present value of future value as
the sum of net present value and initial investment:

PI = Initial cash outlay+PV cash inflows
Initial cash outlay
This gives us another formula for profitability index:
PI = 1+ PV Cash inflows
Initial cash outlay
