Expert Solution
Step 1

Net present value is the value a project can add to the firm. The project can be accepted if the NPV is positive. IRR is the rate at which NPV is 0. The payback period is the time in years it takes the project to recover the costs.

Step 2

a,b. The  $1.5 million positive cash flow every year are a form of perpetuity.

Value of peretuity = Cash flowinterest rate=1,500,0000.0828=$18,115,942.03NPV =value of cash flows-initial cost=18,115,942.03 - 11,000,000=$7,115,942.03

Thus, the NPV is $7,115,942.03.
