d) The CAPM was developed to eliminate the limitations of the constant growth model. The
CAPM is based on the principle that investors in ordinary shares should be rewarded for
the risk they bear. Thus, the higher the risk, the higher the return in order to compensate
for the higher risk. The CAPM attempts to quantify the level of risk in respect of a specific
share investment and to ascertain the required rate of return in respect of the share
investment.

d) Profitability index (PI): The PI is the ratio of the present value of cash flows (PVCF) to the
initial investment of the project. PI is also known as a benefit/cash ratio.
The PI method is closely related to the NPV approach: If the net present value of a
project is positive, the PI will be greater than 1. On the other hand, if the net present value
is negative, the project will have a PI of less than 1.
