A company is considering a $100,000 piece of equipment after securing a 3 year service contract. This equipment falls into the MACRS five year class and will be sold after three years for $42,000. The addition of this equipment will have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the company $45,000 per year in before-tax operating costs. The firm's marginal tax rate (federal plus state) is 40%, and its after-tax MARR is 12%.
Show if this investment is economically justifiable or not.

Loss Carryback and Carryforward
The Bookbinder Company has made $300,000 before taxes during each of the last 15 years, and it expects to make $300,000 a year before taxes in the future. However, in 2016 the firm incurred a loss of $725,000. The firm will claim a tax credit at the time it files its 2016 income tax return, and it will receive a check from the U.S. Treasury. Show how it calculates this credit, and then indicate the firm's tax liability for each of the next 5 years. Assume a 35% tax rate on all income to ease the calculations. Enter your answers as positive values. If an amount is zero, enter "0".

Jackson & Sons uses packing machines to prepare its products
for shipping. One machine costs $397,500 and lasts 5 years before
it needs replaced. The machine will be worthless after the 5 years.
The annual after-tax operating cost per machine is $38,400.
What is the equivalent annual cost of one machine if the
required rate of return is 16 percent?

In an imaginary closed economy, the market for loanable funds is in equilibrium in which the government is running a balanced budget. In equilibrium, GDP, consumption expenditure and government expenditure are $4,000 million, $2,500 million and $1,000 million, respectively.
a. Calculate private saving, public saving, taxes and investment.
b. In order to finance for additional expenditures in the future, suppose the government is running a budget deficit in which it raises fund through selling government bonds in the open market. Explain the effects of this policy on the real interest rate and investment.
c. If the imaginary economy is a closed economy, what is the relationship between domestic investment and national saving?
d. If the imaginary economy has a reform, and then changes to an open economy, what is the new relationship between domestic investment and national saving?
