Question

The Yurdone Corporation wants to set up a private cemetery business. According to the CFO, Barry M. Deep, business is "looking up". As a result, the cemetery project will provide a net cash inflow of $96,000 for the firm during the first year, and the cash flows are projected to grow at a rate of 5 percent per year forever. The project requires an initial investment of $1,490,000.

What is the NPV for the project if Yurdone's required return is 10 percent? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

If Yurdone requires a return of 10 percent on such undertakings, should the firm accept or reject the project?

The company is somewhat unsure about the assumption of a 5 percent growth rate in its cash flows. At what constant growth rate would the company just break even if it still required a return of 10 percent on investment? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16))

Explanation / Answer

pv of all cashflow = 96,000/req rate - growth

= 96000/.05 = 1920000

npv = 1920000-1490000= 430000

npv is positive

Accept the project

for breakeven:

1490000 = 96000/10%-g

10%-g = 96000/1490000

growth =.1 -.0644=3.55%
