- Average annual PBIT/Initial Capital Costs x 100
- Average annual PBIT/Average Capital Investment x 100
o Average capital investment = initial investment + residual value/2

EAC
EAC = PV of Costs/ Annuity factor for year n
- Year n is the length of the replacement period in years
Profitability Index
= NPV/Initial Investment
- Revenue per $ spent
- Divisible projects
- Rank best to worst
o Allocate money in this order
Sensitivity Analysis
= NPV/ PV of cashflows under consideration x 100
