a. $14 million

b. $8 million

c. Yes

Explanation:

a. The computation of the  equal annual net cash flows is shown below:

Annual net cash flows = Net Income after tax + Depreciation expense

where,

Depreciation equal to

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($90 million  - $0) ÷ (30 years)

= ($90 million) ÷ (30 years)  

= $3 million

And, the  Net Income after tax  would be

= $26 million - $15 million

= $11 million

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $11 million + $3 million

= $14 million

b. The net present value would be

= Present value of all yearly cash inflows after applying discount factor - initial investment

where,

Present value of all yearly cash inflows = Annual cash flows × PVIFA at 14% for 30 years

= $14 million × 7.0027

= $98.04 million

Refer to the PVIFA table

And, the initial investment would be $90 million

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $98.04 million = $90 million

= $8.04 million

c. Yes, the net present value comes in positive.
