c) - $877,874d

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in:

Year 0 = $-2,225,000

year 1 = $375,000

year 2 = $425,000

year 3 = $400,000

year 4 = $475,000

I = 9%

NPV = $-877,873.94
