<span>Prefer the 6.1 percent tax-exempt investment.
Let's do the math and see why the tax-exempt investment is the better choice. For the 8.1% taxable investment, you get taxed at the rate of 28%. Which means that you only get to keep 100%-28% = 72% of your gains. So 0.72 * 8.1 = 5.832 which means your effective earning percentage is only 5.832% which is less than the 6.1% rate you get for the tax-exempt investment. Another consideration that wasn't taken into account for the question is the earnings on the taxable investment may push you up into a higher tax bracket. Which in turn increases the tax burden on your other investments. So the better choice here is the 6.1% tax-exempt investment even though that first glance the 8.1% investment looks higher.</span>
Human capital can be defined as an asset that is not listed on the company's balance sheet. It is the economic value of an employee's work experience and skills. It includes education, training, intelligence, skill, health, loyalty and punctuality.
According to the concept of human capital, all labor is not equal and the quality of employers can be improved by investing in their training, education, and abilities. Human capital is important because it is considered to increase the productivity and profitability and the economic values of the employers.
