The Web site www.mhhe.com/bma contains an Excel program for calculating the profitability of the Nodhead project. Now suppose that the cash flows from Nodhead’s new supermarket are as follows:

a. Recalculate economic depreciation. Is it accelerated or decelerated?
b. Rework Tables 12.2 and 12.3 to show the relationship between
(i) The “true” rate of return and book ROI and
(ii) True EVA and forecasted EVA in each year of the project’slife.
