Algo Corp. has started a new project to create a new trading platform. This project will provide a net cash inflow of $91,000 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 $1,440,000.

a-1	What is the NPV for the project if the required return is 12 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.)

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

b.

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 break even if it still required a return of 12 percent on investment? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
