Accounting 10, October 21st

Today we will complete any outstanding computer work since mid-term reports are coming out soon! You have the following computer assignments done or in the works: a WebQuest, Stock Market Data sheet, and 3 different spreadsheets (2.5, 3.4 and 4.5). If it is possible complete ALL these assignments today. More detailed instructions can be found on previous Accounting 10 blog entries.

When they are complete, you can do some bonus work related to the Economy. Pick any one story from the following links and write a brief report on it. Your report will include:

What is the story about?

Who are the main actors in it?

What is the possible effect (on whom, and what)?

Visit Macleans, CBC.ca, or the Globe and Mail.

Your report should be about a 1/2 page long, but take time in finding a story that interests you, that you can understand, and be sure that it relates to the Economy!
