Assume the dividend payout ratio each year is 100%.

a. Calculate the year-by-year book and economicprofitability for investment in polyzone production. Assumestraight-line depreciation over 10 years and a cost of capital of6%. (Negative answers should be indicated by a minus sign.Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" whereverrequired. Do not round intermediate calculations.Enter your income answers in millions rounded to 2 decimal placesand enter the rate of return as a percent rounded to 2 decimalplaces.)
