ACC501 Case 2

Remember to always indent the first line of a paragraph (use the tab key) or paragraph formatting. Start the paper with a 2-3 sentence introductory paragraph. The margins, font size, spacing, and font type (bold or plain) are set in APA format. While you may change the names of the headings, do not change the formatting or style of font except as specified below. This template uses Times New Roman 12-point. You may also use: Calibri (11), Arial (11), Georgia (11) or Lucida Sans Unicode (10). Since you are engaging in research, be sure to cite each paragraph and add a reference list in APA format. NOTE: failure to use research with accompanying in-text citations to support content will result in a score of 60% for each grading criterion. This is a research-based, professional paper; not a personal one based on feelings. It must be written in the third person; this means words like “I”, “we”, and “you” are not appropriate. No quotations are permitted in this paper. The excessive use of quotes will directly impact performance since this indicates a lack of comprehension and shows that you may not have mastered the concepts.
