    Luther will have to pay some taxes after four years i. e five years from now

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Outstanding tax loss carryforwards = $72 million

    Number of years the tax loss carry-forwards will last

    = (Tax loss carry-forward) : (Annual pretax income)

    = (72 million) : (15 million per year)

    = 4.8 years

    Thus,

    Luther will not pay taxes for the next four years

    Hence,

    Luther will have to pay some taxes after four years i. e five years from now.
