Examine the fiscal policies in place at the start of your specific time period of 2000-2010 in relation to their effects on macroeconomic issues. For instance, consider level of government spending, taxation, subsidies, unemployment benefits, and so on.
Analyze new fiscal policy actions undertaken by the U.S. government throughout the time period during 2000-2010 by describing their intended effects, using macroeconomic principles to explain the actions.
Explain the impact of the new fiscal policy actions on individuals and businesses within the economy by integrating the macroeconomic data and principles.

Johnson Real Estate Company was founded 25 years ago by the current CEO, David Johnson. The company purchases real estate, including land and buildings, and rents the property to tenants. The company has shown a profit every year for the past 18 years, and the shareholders are satisfied with the company’s management. Prior to founding Johnson Real Estate, David was the founder and CEO of a failed camel farming operation. The resulting bankruptcy made him extremely averse to debt financing. As a result, the company is entirely equity financed, with 8 million shares of common stock outstanding. The stock currently trades at $37.80 per share. Johnson is evaluating a plan to purchase a huge tract of land in the southeastern United States for $85 million. The land will subsequently be leased to tenant farmers. This purchase is expected to increase Johnson's annual pretax earnings by $14.125 million in perpetuity. Abigail Burton, the company’s new CFO, has been put in charge of the project. Abigail has determined that the company’s current cost of capital is 10.2 percent. She feels that the company would be more valuable if it included debt in its capital structure, so she is evaluating whether the company should issue debt to entirely finance the project. Based on some conversations with investment banks, she thinks that the company can issue bonds at par value with a 6 percent coupon rate. From her analysis, she also believes that a capital structure in the range of 70 percent equity/30 percent debt would be optimal. If the company goes beyond 30 percent debt, its bonds would carry a lower rating and a much higher coupon because the possibility of financial distress and the associated costs would rise sharply. Johnson has a 23 percent corporate tax rate (state and federal). If Johnson wishes to maximize its total market value, would you recommend that it issue debt or equity to finance the land purchase? Explain.

Using the Stack class (it's on the class web page) construct a program that will evaluate postfix (reverse Polish, more properly reverse Lukasiewicz`notation). First, create a class called Postfix. It should have one static function public static double postfix(String s) { This should take a string of tokens consisting of either double constants or the operators + - / *. It should return the value of the postfix expression as a double. The algorithm is 1) Get the next token 2) if it is an operand (double), push it onto a stack. 3) if it is an operator, pop the top two elements, combine them using the operator, and push the result. For - and /, it matters which popped operand should be used first. Entering 2 5 - should give -3. Entering 5 2 - should give 3. Similarly 4 2 / should give 2 while 2 4 / gives 0.5 When the last token is processed, the stack should contain 1 element, the anwer. You need to be prepared to detect and deal with badly formed expressions. Things to look for are an operator appearing when the stack has 0 or 1 entry and a situation where there is more than 1 item on the stack after processing the last token. Be aware of these, and any other problems that may arise, and shut the program down gracefully with a meaningful error message. In order to get the tokens 1 by 1 from the input String, you can use an instance of the StringTokenizer class. You should read about this class. The following code should do the job for you: import java.util.StringTokenizer; public class Postfix { public static double postfix(String s) { StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(s, " +-/*", true); //delimiters are space, +, -, /, *. The "true" says return the //delimiter itself as a token. while (st.hasMoreTokens()) { String tok = st.nextToken(); // at this point, tok contains " ", "+", "-", "/", "*", or a String // representing a double constant. Anything else is an error. // If is a double constant, you can get the double value using // Double.parseInt(tok); If this is NOT a double constant, it will // throw an exception. The rest is up to you.
Here is the stack class
public class Stack<T> { LL<T> theStack; public Stack() { theStack = new LL<T>(); } public boolean isEmpty() { return this.theStack.isEmpty(); } public boolean isFull() { return false; } public void push(T value) { this.theStack.insertAtHead(value); } public T pop() { { return this.theStack.removeFromHead(); } } public T peek() { T retval = this.pop(); this.push(retval); return retval; } public String toString() { return this.theStack.toString(); } public static void main(String args[]) { Stack<Double> myStack = new Stack<Double>(); for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { myStack.push((double)i); } while (!myStack.isEmpty()) { System.out.println(myStack.pop()); } } }

An old two-flat can be purchased for $200,000 cash. The two units can bring in a total of $2,500 per month (allowing for normal vacancies). The total operating expenses for property taxes, repairs, gardening, and so forth are estimated to be $200 per month. For tax purposes, straight-line depreciation over a 20-year remaining life with to a zero salvage value will be used.
Of the total $200,000 cost of the property, $50,000 is the value of the land. Assume a 38% marginal income tax bracket (combined state and federal taxes) applies throughout the 20 years. This tax rate applies to ordinary income and capital gains/losses.
Since there is no growth expected in rents or expenses, depreciation is straight-line, and the tax rate doesn’t change, the ATCF’s for each year, 1 to 20, will be the same.
