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 $88,000 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 $1,410,000.

a-1 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 answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) NPV in $?

a-2 If Yurdone requires a return of 12 percent on such undertakings, should the firm accept or reject the project? Reject or Accept

b. The company is somewhat unsure about the assumption of a 3 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 12 percent on investment? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
