Suppose savers either buy bonds or make deposits in savings accounts at banks. initially, the interest income earned on bonds or deposits is taxed at a rate of 20%. now suppose there is an increase in the tax rate on interest income, from 20% to 25%. shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change.

this change in the tax treatment of interest income from saving causes the equilibrium interest rate in the market for loanable funds to fall/rise and the level of investment spending to decrease/increase.

an investment tax credit effectively lowers the tax bill of any firm that purchases new capital in the relevant time period. suppose the government implements a new investment tax credit.

shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change.

the implementation of the new tax credit causes the interest rate to fall/rise and the level of investment to fall/rise .

initially, the government's budget is balanced, then the government responds to the conclusion of a war by significantly reducing defense spending without changing taxes.

this change in spending causes the government to run a budget deficit/surplus, which increases/decreases national saving.

shift the appropriate curve on the graph to reflect this change.

this causes the interest rate to fall/rise , crowding out/increasing the level of investment spending.

Cardinal company is considering a project that would require a $2,725,000 investment in equipment with a useful life of five years. at the end of five years, the project would terminate and the equipment would be sold for its salvage value of $400,000. the company’s discount rate is 14%. the project would provide net operating income each year as follows: sales $2,867,000 variable expenses 1,125,000 contribution margin 1,742,000 fixed expenses: advertising, salaries, and other fixed out-of-pocket costs $706,000 depreciation 465,000 total fixed expenses 1,171,000 net operating income $571,000 1. which item(s) in the income statement shown above will not affect cash flows?

(a)sales (b)variable expenses (c) advertising, salaries, and other fixed out-of-pocket costs expenses (d) depreciation expense 2. what are the project’s annual net cash inflows? 3.what is the present value of the project’s annual net cash inflows? (use the appropriate table to determine the discount factor(s) and final answer to the nearest dollar amount.) 4.what is the present value of the equipment’s salvage value at the end of five years? (use the appropriate table to determine the discount factor(s) and final answer to the nearest dollar amount.) 5.what is the project’s net present value? (use the appropriate table to determine the discount factor(s) and final answer to the nearest dollar amount.)
