Since it is a 8-year project, the values of year 7 and year 8 is missing in the question. So i have solved it till the year 6. The answer would be different if we include the year 7 and 8, but the methodology will remain the same. I have solved this question in Excel. The formula used are written along with the values. If you still have any doubt, kindly ask in the comment section.

Note: Give it a thumbs up if it helps! Thanks in advance!
