PI=(NPV+PI=(NPV+ initial investment)÷\div initial investment

1.24375=(195000+Initial investment)÷1.24375=(195 000+Initial \space investment)\divinitial investmentinitial\space investment

1.24375×initial investment=195000+initial investment1.24375 \times initial \space investment=195000+initial\space investment

1.24375×initial investmentinitial investment=1950001.24375\times initial\space investment-initial\space investment=195000

initial investment(1.243741)=195000/0.24373=800065.6initial\space investment (1.24374 -1)=195000/0.24373=800065.6

so option  [2] R800 000 appears to be the correct answer as it is close to the calculated value.
