3. OpenSeas, Inc. is evaluating the purchase of a new cruise ship. The ship will cost $499 ​million, and will operate for 20 years. OpenSeas expects annual cash flows from operating the ship to be $68.4 million and its cost of capital is 11.6%.   Prepare an NPV profile of the purchase. To plot the NPV profile we compute the NPV of the project for various discount rates and plot the curve. The NPV for a discount rate of 2.0% is $______________________million. ​ (Round to one decimal​ place.) The NPV for a discount rate of 11.5% is $_____________________million. ​  (Round to one decimal​ place.) The NPV for a discount rate of 17.0% is $_____________________million. ​  (Round to one decimal​ place.) The NPV profile​ is:   Graph portion from picture. Identify the IRR on the graph. The approximate IRR from the graph is_______________​%. ​(Round your answer to one decimal​ place.)   Should OpenSeas go ahead with the​ purchase?   ​(Select the best choice​ below.)   A.​ No, because at a discount rate of 11.6%​, the NPV is positive. B. No, because at a discount rate of 11.6%​,the NPV is negative. C. Yes, because at a discount rate of 11.6%​, the NPV is negative. D. ​Yes, because at a discount rate of 11.6%​, the NPV is positive.   How far off could​ OpenSeas' cost of capital estimate be before your purchase decision would​ change? ​(​Note: Subtract the discount rate from the approximate​ IRR.) The cost of capital estimate can be off by ______________​%. ​(Round to one decimal​ place.

Prepare an NPV profile of the purchase. To plot the NPV profile we compute the NPV of the project for various discount rates and plot the curve.
The NPV for a discount rate of 2.0% is $______________________million. ​
(Round to one decimal​ place.)
The NPV for a discount rate of 11.5% is $_____________________million. ​ 
(Round to one decimal​ place.)
The NPV for a discount rate of 17.0% is $_____________________million. ​ 
(Round to one decimal​ place.)
The NPV profile​ is:
 
Graph portion from picture.
Identify the IRR on the graph.
The approximate IRR from the graph is_______________​%.
​(Round your answer to one decimal​ place.)
 
Should OpenSeas go ahead with the​ purchase?  
​(Select the best choice​ below.)
 
A.​ No, because at a discount rate of 11.6%​, the NPV is positive.
B. No, because at a discount rate of 11.6%​,the NPV is negative.
C. Yes, because at a discount rate of 11.6%​, the NPV is negative.
D. ​Yes, because at a discount rate of 11.6%​, the NPV is positive.
 
How far off could​ OpenSeas' cost of capital estimate be before your purchase decision would​ change?
​(​Note: Subtract the discount rate from the approximate​ IRR.)
The cost of capital estimate can be off by ______________​%.
​(Round to one decimal​ place.)
