First we calculate the return on equity(ROE) based on the Du-pont equation

ROE =  Net profit margin * Total asset turnover * equity multiplier

Total asset turnover = 1/capital intensity =1/1.08

Equity multiplier = 1+ debt to equity = 1+ 0.54 = 1.54

net profit margin = 6.2% = 0.062

ROE = 0.062*1/1.08*1.54 = 0.0884 = 8.84%

Sustainable growth rate = ROE*(1- dividend payout)

Sustainable growth rate = 0.0884*(1-0.4)

Sustainable growth rate= 0.053 = 5.3%

Sustainable growth rate = 5.30%

Why do southeast asian farmers continue to practice slash-and-burn agriculture and shifting cultivation?
vovangra [49]
For all the technology coming out of China today, its rural community is still very primitive. Farmers in the Western World have found ways to scientifically improve their growing techniques. Crop rotations allow for nutrient rich plants to regenerate the soil every other year. Also letting a field go fallow one years allows for recovery of soil. There are many other ways the West is improving their crops and educating new farmers in agriculture science. However, southeast Asian farmers to do not have access to this technology or sometimes computers/internet. They are using the same techniques that they have for over a thousand years. Until education is available for them or they are taught different they will continue to use the same techniques taught by their father. Even to the detriment of their land.

Can a broker arbitrarily penalize an independent contractor based on varying factors, such as the sales agent's difficulty in cl
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

An independent contractor is a business person or entity who works for an employer based on an agreed-upon contract which affords him the flexibility of choosing how and when he accomplishes a task. The employer has the right to control the results of his work but has little or no say on how and when the job is done.

An independent contractor is not bound to work specific hours dictated by an employer. When the sale's agent finds it difficult to close a deal or is unable to produce paperwork in a timely fashion, he cannot just be arbitrarily penalized by the broker. The broker could terminate the contract if the agent does not meet up to his requirements.
