Solution:
a)Statement showing calculation of relevant cash flows:
| Year | Relevant cash flows(Project A-Project B) |
| 0 | ($4652,000-$1542,000)=-$3110,000 |
| 1 | ($558,000-$376,000)=$182,000 |
| 2 | ($934000-$376000)=$558,000 |
| 3 | ($1344,000-$376000)=$968,000 |
| 4 | ($2221,000-$376,000)=$1845,000 |
| 5 | ($3396,000-$376,000)=$3020,000 |
b)Expansion decision such as Project A is viewed as a special form of replacement decision because in some way the expansion decision is a replacement decision where the cash flows from the old project are ZERO.

Terminal cash flow-Replacement decision Russell Industries is considering replacing a fully depreciated machine that has a remaining useful life of 10 years with a newer, more sophisticated machine. The new machine will cost $201,000 and will require $29,400 in installation costs. It will be depreciated under MACRS using a 5-year recovery period (see the table for the applicable depreciation percentages). A $30,000 increase in net working capital will be required to support the new machine. The firm's managers plan to...

(Calculating project cash flows and NPV) You are considering new elliptical trainers and you feel you can sell 5 comma 000 of these per year for 5 years (after which time this project is expected to shut down when it is learned that being fit is unhealthy). The elliptical trainers would sell for $1 comma 000 each with variable costs of $500 for each one produced, and annual fixed costs associated with production would be $1 comma 000 comma 000....
