    c) Reject the project because the PI is. 97

    Explanation:

    For recommendation, first we have to find out the profitability index which is shown below:

    PI = Present value of Cash Inflows : Initial Investment

    = [ ($56,400 : 1.155) + ($75,900 : 1.1552) ] : $109,200

    = [$48,831.17 + $56,895.49] : $109,200

    = $105,726.65 : $109,200

    = 0.97

    Since as we can see that the profitability index is 0.97 and the required return is $1.06 so the project should be rejected
