Answer:
a. SAR is the Sodium adsorption ratio of the water used for irrigation purpose. SAR is ratio of sodium concentration to that of calcium and magnesium concentration.This value is also useful while managing soils that have high concentration of sodium which can occur naturally in some soils. Although sodium is a macro-nutrient for plants, higher concentration of sodium can cause the displacement of the calcium and magnesium ions in soil which can affect the soil structure by preventing aggregation of clay in the soil resulting in a decrease in the infiltration rates.
b. EC is the electrical conductivity of the soil which depends on the salinity of the soil. High salinity means more solutes in water and this increases the osmotic potential of the soil solution making it difficult for plants to absorb water.
Answer:
If inflation is expected to be 7% this next year, your friend will be earning a -2% interest.
Step-by-step explanation:
Real interest rate is the interest rate that takes inflation into account. To calculate for the real interest rate, we have:
<em>Real interest rate = nominal interest rate - inflation rate</em>
<em>Real interest rate = 5% - 7%</em>
<em>Real interest rate = -2%</em>
In this case, the borrower will get paid and your friend will be the one penalized.
Negative interest rates occur infrequently and usually only when a country's central bankers are forced to utilize the monetary policy tool -- where the interest rates are set below zero -- during harsh economic times.
Answer:
(D) $14,000–$20,000
Explanation:
We will calcualte based on the current minimun wage at september 2019 7.25 USD per hour
we will assume it works a full-time five days and half-day the saturdays totalizing a 44 hours week
and there is 52 week per year
7.25 USD per hour
x 44 hours per week
x 52 weeks per year
16.588 yearly wages
with no overtime the wages will be in the range of option D
Answer: Supplier dependence
Explanation:
Supplier dependence is the extent to which a firm (buyer) relies on the product of another firm (supplier) because of the importance of the supplier's products to it's own manufacturing process. The degree to which a buyer is dependent on a supplier's product is largely affected by the difficulty of accessing such products from another seller. In this case, 97% of this rare-earth materials are supplied by Chinese firms, the ban will greatly affect Hitachi manufacturing process.
