...Constitution. A key precedent of the Court was established in 1803 through the case of Marbury v. Madison. Since then the Court has ruled on the constitutionality of laws throughout the United States. Two more recent landmark cases are Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey. These cases focused on women’s reproductive rights, such as abortion and a state’s rights to restrict abortions based on the constitutional rights. Roe v. Wade took place in the early 1970’s.

...Women have had the struggle of being denied equality in both politically and socially events. One ongoing political debate is regarding abortion and whether or not it should be prohibited. Many critics oppose to permit this option due to constitutional or religions belief of ending a life before it begins. Efforts to keep strict law restriction over abortion have continued, although, what many fail to realize is that abortion sometimes plays a huge factor in saving a mother's life. The unending discussion was ignited by the decision formed from the Roe v. Wade case in 1973. In the Roe v. Wade, the U.S. Supreme Court declared abortions to become legalized and recognizing that women have a constitutional right to privacy to their decision on...

...DuPont Analysis DuPont analysis helps in identifying the source of profitability. The DuPont analysis breaks up ROA into 2 components: ROA = Asset turnover*Operating profit margin Taking ROA as (EBIT-Tax)/assets and multiplying and dividing by sales, we get (sales/assets)*((EBIT-Tax/sales)) Similarly it breaks up ROE into 3 components: ROE = Net profit margin* Asset Turnover * Equity multiplier This can also be written as: ROE = Profitability*Efficiency*Leverage The Three-Step DuPont Calculation: Taking the ROE equation: ROE = net income / shareholder's equity and multiplying the equation by (sales / sales) we get: ROE = (net income / sales) * (sales / shareholder's equity) We now have ROE broken into two components, the first is net profit margin, and the second is the equity turnover ratio. Now by multiplying in (assets / assets), we end up with the three-step DuPont identity: ROE = (net income / sales) * (sales / assets) * (assets / shareholder's equity) This equation for ROE breaks it into three widely used and studied components: ROE = (Net profit margin)* (Asset Turnover) * (Equity multiplier) Return on Total Asset Analysis | Company | March'15 | March'14 | March'13 | March'12 | March'11 | Bharti Airtel | 2.74 | 1.62 | 1.44 | 2.81 | 1.54 | Reliance Communications | 0.79 | 1.16 | 0.74 | 0.99 | 1.44 | Idea Cellular | 5.97 | 4.75 | 2.93 | 2.30 | 3.35 | Return on Equity Analysis | Company | March'15 | March'14 | March'13 | March'12...

This can relieve the financee and increase diversity of entrepreneurial undertakings as in debt based commercial financing, there is little room for diversity with obligatory and stipulated servicing of debt.

Based on review of alternate solutions proposed, the author presents two possible covenants which could make Mudarabah mode of financing more acceptable and widely usable in financial intermediation. This would also further the egalitarian objectives of an Islamic economic order. Keywords: Interest free economy, Islamic...

The total asset turnover measures the company's ability to generate sales with the assets it has. Kellogg's ROE is 5.98 times its ROA because of its use of other people's money. When we look at General Mills ROE is lower than Kelloggs Co. ROE, their ROE is only 3.38 times their ROA, showing that they are using less of other peoples money. In my opinion, General Mills. is operating better than Kellogg's. The analysis shows a more effective use of assets by General Mills, and we can see the results in the net income.
