Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": run the risk of overseas companies using the information to produce competitive products.

Explanation:

Outsourcing is an approach used by companies to take part of their operations abroad where labor costs and materials are cheaper. This is a good strategy to avoid being subject to stiff regulations imposed by the government that could affect the business.

Though, the disadvantages of outsourcing rely on the loss of the quality control of the output, assigning duties to the unskilled workforce or the fact that the outsourced manufacturers can filter the technology of the company to competitors to produce imitations.

joja [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is the tax on food processors was unconstitutional.

Explanation:

On January 6, 1936, the Supreme Court decided in the United States v. Butler, that the act was unconstitutional for the collection of this tax on processors only so that it will be returned to the farmers. The regulation of agriculture was considered a state power. As such, the federal government could not force states to adopt the Agricultural Adjustment Act due to lack of jurisdiction. However, the Agrarian Law of 1938 remedied these technical problems and the agricultural program continued.

Wild Flowers Express has a debt-equity ratio of .60. The pretax cost of debt is 9 percent while the unlevered cost of capital is

andre [41]

Answer:

0.1631 ; 16.31%

Explanation:

Given:

Cost of capital = 14% = 0.14

Debt to equity ratio = 60% = 0.6

Cost of debt = 9% = 0.09

Tax rate = 23% = 0.23

Cost of equity : cost of capital + debt - to - equity ratio * (1 - tax rate) * (cost of capital - cost of debt)

Cost of equity = 0.14 + 0.60 × (1 - 0.23) × (0.14 - .09)

Cost of equity :

0.14 + 0.60 * 0.77 * 0.05

0.14 + 0.0231

= 0.1631 ; 0.1631 * 100% = 16.31%
