As an international manager, I would use this strategy by hiring employees on the basis of performance. This means that the company will be sourcing for the best employees in the global labor market regardless of their place of origin. This will strengthen my ability to promote diversity and innovation ...

1. Bevan Industries’ current cost of capital

Discussed hereunder is the step by step calculation of Bevan Industries’ current cost of capital (Barber, 2004).

Cost of Debt (Cd)
Cd = I (1 - TR)

Where I is the Interest Rate on Debt

TR is the Tax Rate
Cd = {(30,000,000 X 0.06) / 25,000,000} X (1 – 0.28)

= 0.072 X 0.72 = 0.05184

= 5.184%

Cost of Common Stock (Ccs)

Based on the given information, the cost of common stock is calculated using the formula
Ccs = Cd + risk premium
rf = (20 X 8) / 160 = 1 (rf is the risk free rate)
Ccs = 5.184 + 0.75(1)

= 5.934%.

Indeed, while employing a method of ethical decision-making to an ethical dilemma may not provide all the answers but it should help clarify the issues enough so that a means of resolution will be obvious or easier to see.
