 3. The state and local governments
Explanation of Solution
In the capital market of the United States the government groups which compete for funds are as follows.
The federal government
In this form of government, power is divided amongst the federal and state government. The collection of funds is imperative for the fulfilment of various purposes, such as education, public welfare, construction of roads, bridges, and highways.
The government agency
It is a government organization that is established by either legislation or by executive powers. It is a permanent or quasi-permanent agency whose main obligation is to handle and perform the specific administrative functions. It requires financial capital to cater to the promotions of various health and education-related programs, construction of roads, dams, highways, and public utilities like water, electricity, etc.
The state and local governments
The state government is an administrative body that makes and executes various laws and duties for a particular state. The local government handles and measures the performances within a particular geographical area. They need a budget for the welfare of the public, roads and highways constructions, and other public utilities like water, electricity.
All of the above-mentioned government groups compete with one another and other corporations for a limited supply of financial capital.Â

The equipment's basic price is $64,000, and it would cost another $18,000 to modify it for special use by your firm. The chromatograph, which falls into the MACRS 3-year class, would be sold after 3 years for $28,400. The MACRS rates for the first three years are 0.3333, 0.4445 and 0.1481. (Ignore the half-year convention for the straight-line method.) Use of the equipment would require an increase in net working capital (spare parts inventory) of $3,000. The machine would have no effect on revenues, but it is expected to save the firm $24,760 per year in before-tax operating costs, mainly labor. The firm's marginal federal-plus-state tax rate is 25%.
