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 $107,000 for the firm during the first year, and the cash flows are projected to grow at a rate of 3 percent per year forever. The project requires an initial investment of $1,600,000.      What is the NPV for the project if the company's required return is 12 percent? If the company requires a return of 12 percent on such undertakings, should the cemetery business be started? The company is somewhat unsure about the assumption of a growth rate of 3 percent in its cash flows. At what constant growth rate would the company just break even if it still required a return of 12 percent on investment?
