Answer:

Thibodaux workers went on strike to protest against sugar cane plantations in four parishes which are Lafourche, Terrebonne, St. Mary, and Assumption.

No, the strike was not successful.

The unscheduled return to work by some workers before the end of the strike, makes it unsuccessful. The aftermath of the strike resulted to violence leading to death of many black workers and their families, as well injuries to many others.

the formula to determine the equity multiplier = total assets / total equity

the higher the equity multiplier, the higher the return on equity (ROE), but a high equity multiplier (financial leverage) also increases the company's risk since eventually it might not be able to pay off its creditors if something goes wrong.
