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 $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 Yurdone's required return is 12 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 12 percent on such undertakings, should the firm accept or reject the project?

  

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? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)

Explanation / Answer

a-1 )Initial investment - $ 1,600,000

present value of cash Inflow = (cash flow of 1year * PVF@12%,1) +(Terminal value *PVF@12%.1)

                                       = (107,000 * .89286 ) +(1,224,555.56 * .89286)

                                       = 95536.02 + 1093356.68

                                       = $ 1,188,892.70

NPV =present value -II

       = 1,188,892.7 - 1,600,000

      = $ - 411,107.30

**Terminal value = 107,000 ( 1+ .03) / (.12 - .03)

                       = 107,000 * 1.03 / .09

                       = 110,210 / .09

                       = $ 1,224,555.56

A-2)No project should not be undertaken as NPV is negative

b)At Breake even ,present value of cash inflow will be equal to initial investment = 1,600,000

present value of cash Inflow = (cash flow of 1year * PVF@12%,1) +(Terminal value *PVF@12%.1)

   1,600,000 =   (107,000 * .89286 ) +(terminal value * .89286)

   1,600,000 = 95536.02 + (TV * .89286)

     TV = (1600000 -95536.02 ) / .89286

            = 1504463.98 / .89286

           = 1684994.27

Terminal value =CF1 (1+g) /(rate -g)

1684994.27 = 107000 (1+g) /(.12 -g)

   1684994.27 (.12 - g ) = 107000 (1+g)

    202199.31 - 1684994.27g = 107000 + 107000g

    202199.31 -107000 = 1684994.27g + 107000g

       95199.31 = 1577994.27g

g = 95199.31 /1577994.27

     =.0603 or 6.03%
