Busi 536 | Business & Finance homework help

Discuss the following questions/topics using the textbook and additional research.  Your answers must include 2 sources other than the textbook, 1 biblical integration, and be in APA format, a title page and abstract are not required.

Your analysis per question should be at least a half- to a full-page of original written analysis, not including the question.    Insufficient written analysis per question will not be eligible for full credit to be earned.

Please make sure to label your work and include references at the end of the paper, and to number your questions.

You should include a section on what the text states regarding the topic, what an Internet reference(s) state regarding the topic, and then provide a detailed original commentary on what you have learned regarding the question’s topic. 

Again, I would strongly encourage you to write more than just a 1/2 page of analysis, and limit your use of quotations.   You will not be eligible for full credit on the question if blocks of quotations are utilized. 

Remember that zero points will be earned on the entire homework assignment if plagiarized work is present in the written document.  Homework assignments that are plagiarized will earn an automatic zero points.  Plagiarized work will also be reported directly to Liberty University for administrative processing, so please remember to quote or to write original personal commentary analysis.
