3
  6,360   7,470  
4
  1,920   7,470  


The cost of capital for both projects is 10 percent.

Calculate the profitability index (PI) for each project. (Do not round discount factors. Round intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25 and final answer to 4 decimal places, e.g. 1.2527.)

The PI for project X is                 and the PI for project Y is              .
