Answer:
(a) Quality of information that permits users to identify similarities in and differences between two sets of economic phenomena. - Comparability.
The information would be similar enough to be comparable, but different enough to allow for the discovery of important differences. For example, the GDP Growth data for several countries: each figure is different, but they all refer to the same.
(b) Having information available to users before it loses its capacity to influence decisions. - Timeliness.
The information is timely because it is obtained at a useful time, when it can still be employed to achieve a desired goal. For example, a sales forecast made one year ago is probably not very timely, while one made one month ago is most likely still very timely.
(c) Information about an economic phenomenon that has value as an input to the processes used by capital providers to form their own expectations about the future. - predictive value.
This information helps owners of capital make predictions about the future in order to take investment decisions. Leading economic indicators such as stock prices or building permits are a common example of information with predictive value.
(d) Information that is capable of making a difference in the decisions of users in their capacity as capital providers. - relevance
The information is relevant because 1) it is related to the capital use 2) it can change the direction of use of said capital. For example, if a firm exports to two countries, and one of those countries enters economic recession, the information is relevant because it can sway the firm to export more or only to the country whose economy is still growing.
e) Absence of bias intended to attain a predetermined result or to induce a particular behavior. - Neutrality.
The lack of bias means that the information is neutral, and objective, and therefore, very useful. The lack of bias is something that is commonly valued in statistical information, and when conducting a statistical study, plenty of measures are taken to ensure that the information is as unbiased as possible.

A Story about history, and how it affected us….Before 2012, many people believed that the year 2012 was going to be the end of the world. This prediction was based off of the Mayan Calendar, a primary source of its own, made at ~August 11, 3114 BC. Why is this a primary source? Because the Mayans themselves made the calendar, and based everything off of it. However, rest assure, because the world didn’t end yet. (obviously, because its like what 2017 right now [delete this ()]). Many people believed this to be true, and thousands of people rushed to get ready for this ‘end of the world’. They bought food and water in large quantities (and with their life savings) and waited out in underground shelters. The connotation of the phrase “end of the world” scares many. They never want to think of what or where the world is going, and the end of the world. Instead, they look towards the past, and try to learn lessons from the past so that they do not make the same mistakes today, because if the same mistakes happen today, well, you never know where the world will lead to tomorrow. How do they look towards the past? Well, they do NOT take bits and pieces from different timezones randomly. Instead, researchers try to find history that actually has an effect on today or tomorrow. Take for example, the world wars. People go in chronological order from even before the start of the war to a little after it, to learn of the reasons the war started, what happened during the war, and the consequences of fighting the war, and how it affects people. After that, many people would write nonfiction and fictional stories about it, sometimes adding personification to animals that “viewed” the battle while it was going on. An example of this, is “War Horse”, by Michael Morpurgo, in which a horse by the name of Joey, is given a personification, and tells us of an experience a horse had in real-life history (from a farm animal to a animal that survived WW1). With all of this information that is given to us from history, both the problems, and the resolution, it is up to us to learn what is best for our current situation, and to not make the same mistakes again. <span>
