Last Tuesday, Cold Goose Metal Works Inc. lost a portion of its planning and financial data when both its main and its backup servers crashed. The companys CFO remembers that the internal rate of return (IRR) of Project Omicron is 11.3%, but he cant recall how much Cold Goose originally invested in the project nor the projects net present value (NPV). However, he found a note that detailed the annual net cash flows expected to be generated by Project Omicron. They are:

YearCash FlowYear 1$2,000,000Year 2$3,750,000Year 3$3,750,000Year 4$3,750,000

The CFO has asked you to compute Project Omicrons initial investment using the information currently available to you. He has offered the following suggestions and observations:

A projects IRR represents the return the project would generate when its NPV is zero or the discounted value of its cash inflows equals the discounted value of its cash outflowswhen the cash flows are discounted using the projects IRR.The level of risk exhibited by Project Omicron is the same as that exhibited by the companys average project, which means that Project Omicrons net cash flows can be discounted using Cold Gooses 10% WACC.

Given the data and hints, Project Omicrons initial investment is_______ , and its NPV is ______ (rounded to the nearest whole dollar).

A projects IRR will ______ (Increase or Decrease) if the projects cash inflows decrease, and everything else is unaffected.
