  • Review Questions 1, 2, 4, and 7 (page 328)
• Chapter 12
  • Review Questions 1, 3, 6, and 7 (pages 356-357)

Your answers should be written in a professional manner (as if you were preparing a summary for a corporate executive). In other words, do not simply provide “bullet point” items, but carefully describe the related concepts in paragraph form. Your submissions will be evaluated on both technical correctness and adherence to professional communication standards.
