Answer:
(a) (i) Define the term "Green Revolution" as used during the period 1945 to 1985.
- The use of modern agricultural techniques became widespread around many regions in the world. This led to higher yields through the use of fertilizers, pesticides, genetically modified seeds and mechanical machinery.
(ii) Explain the principal agricultural practices/technologies associated with the green revolution.
- extensive use of fertilizers, pesticides, genetically modified seeds and mechanical machinery.
(iii) Name TWO regions, in different parts of the world, where the green revolution has had a significant impact on crop yields.
- In North America, Mexican food production increased and they stopped importing food. Although currently that has reversed, and it is importing even more food than before.
- In Brazil, agricultural production increased dramatically. Both total farmed area and yields have continued to increase in the past years becoming a threat to the amazon basin.
(b) Identify and discuss TWO social, political, or cultural conditions necessary for the success of the agricultural practices/technologies of the green revolution.
- Emigration from rural areas to urban areas which resulted in a rapid expansion of urban centers. Since less labor was needed in farms, many people left rural areas due to lack of jobs.
- People started accepting genetically modified crops, which were not well accepted at first. A lot of money was invested in research and development of new seeds, fertilizers and pesticides.
(c) Identify and discuss TWO significant economic or ecological factors that may limit the long-term success of the agricultural practices/technologies of the green revolution.
- Many new agricultural techniques have resulted in a decrease of soil fertility. In many places crops cannot grow unless a lot of fertilizer is used.
- Countries were the green revolution was originally successful, like Mexico (where it started), have reduced the total area dedicated to crops. As the yields increased, the price of food started to decrease and many small farms could not keep operating.
Answer:
The answer is
For 2018 - 1.5
For 2019 - 1.3
Explanation:
Asset turnover ratio=Net sales/average total assets
For 2018:
Sales - $480,000
Beginning asset - 360,000
Ending asset -360,000
Average total asset:
($280,000 + $360,000)/2
=$320,000
Therefore, asset turnover for 2018 is:
$480,000/$320,000
=1.5
For 2019:
Sales - $513,500
Beginning asset - $360,000
Ending asset - $430,000
Average total asset:
($360,000 + $430,000)/2
=$395,000
Therefore, asset turnover for 2019 is:
$513,500/$395,000
=1.3

Sorry cant help with this
Explanation:
Answer:
benefit those in the worst position.
Explanation:
Rawls theory is based on the concept that no inequalities shall prevail in the country. Although some inequalities are unavoidable.
In those circumstances, when Rawls shall agree to such inequalities, and in-fact, further states that it shall benefit all the people. But for this he states that those in the worst position shall be benefited first and with maximum.
This shall create an equality as these people facing inequality will not be criticised further for any purpose, if they are paid off well in the first instance only.
Answer:
(a) $546,300
(b) $12.88
Explanation:
(a) Earnings available to common stockholders:
= Dividend + Retained Earnings
= 33,300 + 513,000
= $546,300
Earnings available to common stockholders means the amount available to distribute as dividend.
But the company need not pay full earnings as dividend. They may left some portion as retained earnings.
(b) Earnings per share:
= Earnings available to common stockholders ÷ no. of shares of common stock
= $546,300 ÷ 42,400
= $12.88
