Answer:

1. sunk costs : $3.5B is a sunk cost as it is already incurred.

2. opportunity costs: Addl $350M investment for finishing project is an Opportunity cost. However it will yield $15M pa for next 5 Yrs. So PV of this CF is less than $15*5=$75M. SO NPV = CF0+CF1..+CF5 = -350 + Less than 75 = negative.
