Answer:
The correct answer for option (a) Â 0.98 and 1.04 and for option (b) is Boulder Location.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:
A). We can calculate the present value index by using following formula:
Present value index = Total present value of net cash flow ÷ Amount to be invested Â
Present value index Ft. Collins = 607,600 ÷ 620,000  = 0.98
Present value index Boulder = $624,000 ÷ $600,000  = 1.04
Fort Collins has 0.98 present value index and boulder has 1.04 present value index.
B). Boulder location should be chosen according to the analysis. Because boulder has the 1.04 Â present value index which is greater than 1 while fort Collins has value less than 1.
