Well you have quite the capital budgeting problem here, complete with plenty of irrelevant and relevant cash flows. When you are trying to analyze cash flows in any capital budgeting problem you have to break them down into smaller parts otherwise you wont have a good place to start. There are 3 big groups to put your cash flows in that will organize this problem 1. initial outlay 2. project life 3. terminal year.
Lets start with the initial outlay These cash flows happen at year zero (or today) if we decide to do the project. They include things like initial investment, net working capital changes, and any other relevant cash flows that happen at time 0 of the project.
1. Initial Outlay
Initial Investment: -15,000,000 -2,000,000 = -17,000,000
