Net cash inflow in the first year = $415,000
Initial investment=$4,700,000
Discount rate=11%
To determine: Growth rate at the break-even point.
Introduction: NPV is a technique to evaluate different investment proposals and select the best one. It is basically the net of the present value of aggregate cash inflows and aggregate cash outflows associated with a project.

Using payback to make capital investment decisions
Henry Hardware is adding a new product line that will require an investment of $1,512,000. Managers estimate that this investment will have a 10-year life and generate net cash inflows of $310,000 the first year, $270,000 the second year, and $240,000 each year thereafter for eight years. Compute the payback period. Round to one decimal place.
NPV (net present value)
Craig is considering several capital investments for the upcoming year. Use the NPV (net present value) method to determine whether the company should investment in the following independent projects:
Project 1 costs $28,000 and offers 8 annual cash flows of $8,600. Craig feels this type of investment should require an annual return of 16% on projects like this.
Project 2 costs $35,000 and offers 6 annual cash flows of $12,000. Craig feels this type of investment should require an annual return of 12% on projects like this.
Requirements
1. Calculate the NPV of both of these projects
2. What is the maximum acceptable price Craig should pay for each of these projects?
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 $93,000 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 $1,460,000.
a-1
What is the NPV for the project if the required return is 10 percent? (A negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
a-2
If the company requires a return of 10 percent on such undertakings, should the firm accept or reject the project?
multiple choice
Accept
Reject
b.
The company is somewhat unsure about the assumption of a growth rate of 5 percent in its cash flows. At what constant growth rate would the company break even if…
