Melon Husk Co. is evaluating a new expansion
project. The financial team is working on
determining the estimated growth rate for this
venture and the annual cash flows are projected to
grow at a rate of 8.0% per year forever. However,
they are unsure about the growth rate assumption.
The expansion requires an initial investment of
$69,000, and it will provide a net cash inflow of
$5,200 in Year 1, and $5,200 in Year 2. For the
subsequent years, the net cash inflow will grow at a
constant rate indefinitely. If the cost of capital is
12.7%, what miminum constant rate of growth
should the company seek in this project to make it
feasible?
