Answer:

6.94%

Explanation:

The computation of the company WACC is shown below:

= Weightage of debt × cost of debt × (1 - tax rate)  + (Weightage of  common stock) × (cost of common stock)

where,

Cost of common stock is

= Dividend ÷ Stock price + Growth rate

= $2 ÷ 50 + 5.0%

= 4% + 5%

= 9%

So, the company WACC is                                                                              

= (0.40 × 7%) × ( 1 - 45%) +  (0.60 × 9%)

= 1.54% + 5.4%

 = 6.94%

Hence, the company WACC is 6.94%

If we use the values set by the IRS for 2019, the total travel costs deduction = $290.58.

If we use the 2018 value, the total travel costs deduction = $273.05

Explanation:

The new mileage reduction set by the IRS for 2019 is 58 cents (up from 54.5 cents) per mile. Since Jermaine had to travel 3 times during the year and drove for 167 miles, his total deduction should be:

  • total travel costs deduction = 3 x 167 x $0.58 = $290.58

If we use the 2018 deduction rates, Jermaine's total travel deduction will be:

  • total travel costs deduction = 3 x 167 x $0.545 = $273.05

Answer:

d. they have a large cohort of technically skilled university graduates who work for about one-fifth the pay of comparable American workers.

Explanation:

In the context of international trade, India, China, and the Philippines attract multibillion-dollar investments because: they have a large cohort of technically skilled university graduates who work for about one-fifth the pay of comparable American workers.

One of the major attractions of international trade is the exploitation of intellectual property and skills.

In China for example, research has shown that one major reasons why international trade grew was as a result of the number of Chinese workers, and the fact that they produced a sharp, sustained increase in productivity (that is, increased worker efficiency). Not to mention that the cost of labor was far cheaper than in America or Europe.
