Computation of opportunity cost
i ii iii iv=ii*iii
year Cash flow Post tax cash flow PVIF @ 12% present value
1 17 10.2            0.8929          9.11
2 17 10.2            0.7972          8.13
3 17 10.2            0.7118          7.26
      24.50
Opportunity cost =       24.50
therefore
new NPV of the project, after incorporating the effect of the opportunity cost
=100-24.5=       75.50 mil
ans =       75.50 mil
