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.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash flow= $500

Number of months= 50

Monthly interest rate= 0.07/12= 0.00583

First, we need to calculate the future value using the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= cash flow

FV= {500*[(1.00583^50) - 1]} / 0.00583

FV= $28,928.06

Now, the present value:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 28,928.06/(1.00583^50)

PV= $21,631.67

Concord Corporation reported the following year-end information: Beginning work in process inventory $1080000 Beginning raw mate

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Concord Corporation's cost of goods manufactured for the year is $2,490,000

Explanation:

For computing the cost of goods manufactured, we have to use the formula which is given below:

= Opening Work in progress inventory + Direct material used + direct labor + manufacturing overhead - ending work in progress inventory

In the given question, the direct material used is not given, so we have to compute it. The formula is given below:

= Opening balance of raw material inventory + Purchase of raw material - ending balance of raw material inventory

= $300,000 + $930,000 - $480,000

= $750,000

And, the other values will remain the same.

So, the answer would be equal to

= $1,080,000 + $750,000 + $870,000 + $690,000 - $900,000

= $2,490,000

Hence, Concord Corporation's cost of goods manufactured for the year is $2,490,000

According to dr. w. edwards deming's quality movement, quality efforts need to be _____ and _____ improved.

natka813 [3]

According to dr. w. Edwards Deming's quality movement and quality efforts need to be constantly and consistently improved.

Deming is widely recognized as one of, if not the founders of total quality management. Deming is largely credited with the revolution in Japanese manufacturing management that led to the economic boom of the 1970s and 1980s.

In the 1930s, Deming was intrigued by the idea of using statistics to improve quality control. His focus was on improving production and eliminating future failures by systematically collecting failure records and investigating and correcting root causes.

Deming's philosophy known as Dr. Deming's "Management Theory" and later "systems of profound knowledge" represent a holistic approach to leadership and management. philosophy brings together an understanding of variation, epistemology, psychology, and appreciation of the system.
