Answer:

a. Identification as direct, indirect, or semi-indirect organizational patterns:

Direct organizational pattern

b. Putting sentences in order for a paragraph using an indirect organizational pattern:

Due to projected second quarter revenue shortfalls, the CEO has decided to take precautionary measures to protect the long-term viability of the company.

A mandatory staff furlough will be instituted July 1–6 of this year.

After considering cost-saving proposals, such as eliminating the internal Parts Shipping division and tertiary quality control measures, the executive team determined that staff furloughs would have the least impact on company morale.

Explanation:

Organizational paragraph patterns refer to how paragraphs are organized in order to deliver intended messages. The direct organizational pattern delivers the bad news first before giving reasons, and then closes on a positive note. The indirect pattern starts with a buffer, the reasons, then delivers the bad news, before finally closing on a positive note. The semi-indirect pattern is a mixture of the two.

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The correct answer here to the first fill in the blank is Increase and for the second one it is Upward and for the third one it is Rightwards.

Explanation:

If there is any change in the interest rate or tax treatment , there will be an impact on the capital utilization , which will then help in determining the positions of the LRAS (long run aggregate supply curve ) curve. So if there is an decrease in the interest rate , then it will cause increase in the capital utilization, which will then shift the production to upwards and there by shift the LRAS curve rightwards. LRAS curve shifts to rightwards when in the long run , increase in investment ( which is due to lower interest rate ) causes the economy's capacity to produce, as the production cost is reduced.

Anettt [7]

Answer:

The calculations are shown below:

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Inventory turnover ratio is

= Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory

For year 2015, it is

= $1,270 ÷ $210

= 6.05 times

For year 2014, it is

= $1,560 ÷ $220

= 7.09 times

For year 2013, it is

= $2,000 ÷ $380

= 7.14 times

1-b Average days to sell inventory is computed by considering the

= Total number of days in a year ÷ inventory turnover ratio

For year 2015, it is

= 365 ÷ 6.05

= 60.33 days

For year 2014, it is

= 365 ÷ 7.09

= 51.48 days

For year 2013, it is

= 365 ÷ 7.14

= 51.12 days

2. As we can see that the aegis industries inc is performing better than the Snow Pack Corporation as aegis industries has 7.14 times in 2015 as compare to the 5.5 times in 2015
