Answer: newspaper

Explanation:

Generally speaking, if you are undertaking reading for your assignments you will focus on peer-reviewed journal articles, books and reputable websites. Depending on your course of study you may also have to read other official material such as law cases, government papers, conference papers, policy documents etc.

Even apparently non-academic written sources such as newspapers, blogs, leaflets, social media feeds etc can be used in academic work as long as you are using them appropriately (e.g. to gauge or demonstrate public opinion rather than as an authoritative voice).

Academic sources do not have to be written texts, again depending on your course of study, you may need to refer to images, artwork, maps, film, TV broadcasts, music, podcasts, live performances etc. What is important is that you are able to use these sources critically, showing that you understand when to use them and why.

Newspapers may have a remit to inform but they have, and have always had, very different political and social agendas. The intended audience and the reporters'/editors' purposes in writing the articles can greatly affect their content. What are introduced as 'facts' to back up arguments can be extremely selectively chosen and you need to take this into account.

Some sources are more reliable than others but they may still involve a great deal of bias. Generally, the broadsheet newspapers are more reliable than the tabloids but they too will spin information to meet their own agendas. Newspaper articles are good ways of evidencing public opinion and for historians they offer a unique insight into some time periods - as long as they are not used as the only source of information.

il63 [147K]

Answer: True

Explanation: Specialisation of labour in production is the process of classifying People who have different skills, talents, and interests into groups so they will be better at what they do.

Specialisation in certain tasks often aid workers to produce more quickly and with higher quality especially in assembly line laborers.

Specialization also allows businesses to take advantage of economies of scale, which means that for many goods, as the level of production increases, the average cost of producing each individual unit declines.

The division and specialization of labor has been a force against the problem of scarcity as more product will be produced as against when there is not specialisation in division of labour.

Explanation:

the ending would be next month sales times 15%

July ending

August sales x 15%

300,000 x 15% = 45,000

August Ending

September sales x 15%

270,000 x 15% = 40,500

September Ending

October sales x 15%

180,000 x 15% = 27,000

we will add the sales and the desired ending to get the total required for each month

last step we subtract the beginning inventory for each month, as those units are already there and don't need to purchased.

the ending of one month will be the beginning of the next month.

July ending is August beginning

August ending is September beginning
