Its annual earnings are expected to be in perpetuity. It is considering a new project that requires retaining $1 million one year from now as an initial investment. The project will generate annual earnings of $0.15 million in perpetuity starting one year after the initial investment. The same opportunity will continue to exist indefinitely.
