Don't know about how it's in the US, but if it's anything like in some European countries, a question is:

How much of that $1.1 are recouped as "investments in research" etc. and thus contributing to tax-deductions (and in some cases even subsidies)?

100% of it would be tax-deductible. Corporations don't pay tax on any money spent on salaries, equipment, expenses, etc. Whether there would be ADDITIONAL subsidies, I do not know.
