Q1.a. The Duffers Brothers Inc. wants to set up a private cemetery business. According to the
Chief Financial Officer, Shawn Levy, business is “looking bright”. As a result, the cemetery
project will provide a net cash inflow of $180,000 for the firm during the first year, and the
cash flows are projected to grow at a rate of 4% per year forever. The project requires initial
outlays of $2.2 million.

business be started?

cash flows. At what constant growth rate would the company break even if it still
required a return of 11% of investment?
