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 $290,000
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 $3,900,000.

= - $3,900,000 + $4,833,333.33
= $933,333.33
