Promotion cost of $5 million should be ingnored as it is a sunk cost. The cost that cannot be recovered even if the project is abandoned.
Annual depreciation = 3 / 5 = 0.6
Incremental cash flow = (Revenue - costs - depreciation)(1 - tax) + depreciation
Incremental cash flow = (5 - 1.5 - 0.6)(1 - 0.35) + 0.6
Incremental cash flow = 1.885 + 0.6
Incremental cash flow = $2.485 million
